Crystal graduated from Bangor University with a degree in Law. She completed the Legal Practice Course at the College of Law in 2009. Crystal then spent two years working as a personal tax consultant before commencing her training contract with the firm in 2011.

Crystal is an enthusiastic (if rather poor) cook and spends much of her free time attempting to produce edible baked goods. Crystal also enjoys the great outdoors and can be persuaded to have a go at most sports. She studied ballet for several years and now enjoys walking, dancing and mountain biking (with the odd sky dive thrown in for good measure).
