Cassie was admitted to practice in 2019 after completing her law degree at Southern Cross University in New South Wales. Prior to this change of career, Cassie is also a qualified hairdresser and dental nurse. Cassie was born and raised in Eugenana, Tasmania going to school at Reece High School and then to St Brendan Shaw College. She left the island in 1999 to relocate to Port Douglas in Queensland. Here Cassie worked predominantly with Queensland Health in Cairns and Mossman including travelling with the Royal Flying Doctors Service to Indigenous Communities in Cape York. Having grew up on a farm in Tasmania, Cassie spent many years in Queensland involved in the cattle industry, with heavy involvement in saleyard processes and Brahman Stud sale committees.

Having always had a desire to work in law, Cassie made the decision to attend University as a mature aged student on a full-time basis, whilst being a mother to two young children and continuing to work on the farm. Toward the end her university degree, Cassie worked as a Paralegal focusing on Wills and Estates and Family Law.  Cassie later returned to Tasmania in 2020 and commenced work with Safe at Home for Tasmania Police as a Prosecutor for three years, then later working briefly for Women’s Legal Services Tasmania. Both of these roles provided invaluable experience to Cassie, predominantly in the area of Family Violence.
