April is a First Class Law graduate from the University of Sheffield. She joined Stobbs in 2022 as an IA Paralegal having previously worked in digital transcription. April began her journey into the world of IP (and Stobbs!) by chance when she was matched with Chris Hawkes on a mentoring scheme for Sheffield students. Since then, April has pursued her passion for brands further by building a successful brand through her legal blog, According To A Law Student (ATALS), which was awarded ‘Best Legal Blog 2021’ by SME News. Passionate about writing, April has also published two e-books (and is currently working on the third).

In her spare time, April is a keen equestrian and has taken her interest internationally, teaching horse-riding in New York. April has also played piano for 13 years, and can play pretty much any song by ear (although unfortunately, it is a party trick that she does not get the chance to show often!)
