In addition to clinical negligence work, Dominique also assists Monika Williams a Serious Injury Lawyer, on personal injury claims, which include:

- Employers Liability
- Public Liability
The most rewarding aspect of her role is client satisfaction. Dominique enjoys building new relationships with clients and working closely with them to understand their needs, expectations and navigating them through the process of a legal claim.
She was inspired to get into clinical negligence law because she wanted to pursue a career where she could use her problem-solving and client care skills to help and support others in seeking a just outcome.
Outside of work Dominique enjoys going to the gym and meditating. She also enjoys travelling and experiencing other countries and cultures. At the weekends Dominique enjoys spending time with family and friends.
