Additional Information

I'm looking for a full time job whether paid or just on a voluntary basis. I am a self-motivated and progress-driven. I offer knowledge in civil law with advanced abilities juvenile Justice and proficiency in legal research. I'm not afraid to take on any challenge and relish the opportunity to improve my worth and seek out better methods to achieve reliable and faster results for my employer. When reviewing my CV, you might notice a gap in employment. My absence is due to me taking time to care for my children. I left University with a BA in law and within the same year I had my fourth son. My husband at the time could not be reliable enough to look after himself never mind children (hence the divorce) so I could not progress any further with my education. My child-rearing experience has enhanced my talents in leadership, teamwork, determination, and prioritization as I managed multiple schedules, trained others, enforced rules and provided around-the-clock care. I am now settled and prepared to get back into the workforce in whichever way that presents itself.
