Summary

With a keen interest in commercial and international law, I am eager to start my career as a young professional.


Aiming to join a team where I can be tested through solving problems, applying my mind and utilising my skills for the benefit of a collective. A positive, collaborative and forward-thinking work environment is what I am seeking and I hope to join a firm that shares the same sentiment.


Eager to leverage my diverse experiences and positive attitude to make a valuable contribution to a dynamic legal team and continue to grow not only in myself but also within the legal field.
