The Team

Adrianne graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 2019 with an Honours BA with a Specialization in Criminology. Adrianne maintained a continuing scholarship throughout her four years at Western as she achieved exceptional grades. Through this program Adrianne was able to engage with and learn from professionals and experts in the criminal justice system.

Adrianne had a long-established passion for law having completed several co-op positions as well as continuing volunteering roles in criminal law firms throughout her high school and undergraduate education. Collectively, these experiences strongly encouraged and influenced Adrianne’s decision to pursue a career in law, specifically in criminal defence, and apply to Law School.

Adrianne graduated from Lakehead University’s Bora Laskin Faculty of Law in 2022. In her studies, she achieved the course prize in Constitutional Law in her first year and went on to complete extensive training through experiential learning opportunities specifically in Indigenous Law and Indigenous Legal Traditions. Adrianne also participated in the Lakehead Law Journal as an Articles Editor and then Managing Editor where she oversaw the successful publication of multiple Law Journal issues. In her second year, Adrianne was a research assistant to one of her professors which allowed her to strengthen and perfect her legal research abilities.

Adrianne was born and raised in Hamilton and was eager to return to the community, and as a result she completed her placement at Collett Read LLP in 2022 within the Integrated Practice Program. This working experience solidified her ambitions of being a criminal defence lawyer as she routinely engaged in complex cases and intricate research, as well as developed a passion for interacting with clients and ensuring their concerns are heard and valued.

Adrianne is a driven and highly motivated advocate for her clients. Adrianne was called to the Bar in 2022 and she is excited to be a part of the Collett Read Team.
