As well as crime, Albany holds a keen interest in Family and Regulatory Law.

Albany has previously undertaken pro bono work through various volunteering positions at legal clinics and charities – including an internship with Advocate.

She has also had research published by the International Red Cross and submitted to the NATO Legal Office.
