Bianca is originally from Canberra and spent six years in Sydney before making the move to Alice Springs in mid-2024. She sought a change of scenery and was encouraged by her brother, a police officer in Alice Springs, who recommended the area as a great place to begin a legal career.

Currently in the third year of her Juris Doctor at Macquarie University, Bianca has already gained valuable experience in the legal field. She worked with the Director of Public Prosecutions in Alice Springs and as a law clerk at various law firms in Sydney. She completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Socio-Legal Studies in 2022 and will finish her studies at the end of 2026.

Bianca joined Ward Keller in January 2025, drawn by the firm’s reputation and positive feedback about Michael Penman’s advocacy for clients. Since joining, Bianca has enjoyed the variety of work, including research and assisting with client correspondence. She also values the opportunity to attend court and observe the legal process, especially in criminal law, where she works closely with Sam Pulsford and Jenna Kilgallon.

What Bianca enjoys most about her role is the close-knit nature of the team. She finds the supportive and collaborative environment at Ward Keller both inspiring and rewarding.

Outside of work, Bianca enjoys staying active with her Saturday morning run club, spending quality time with her niece, and browsing second-hand shops.
