Summary
Throughout my academic career I have held several leadership positions which have assisted me in gaining important skills. I am a critical thinker, adaptable, confident and a problem solver. I would thrive in any team because of my communication skills and my ability to respond positively to conflict and remain calm under pressure. My areas of interest in law are not limited and I am always willing to learn to better myself as an aspiring legal practitioner.
