Summary
My education in Philosophy and Law equipped me with critical thinking skills that are applicable across a range of professional vocations. Rigorous academic research coupled with my internship at a law firm helped polish my research skills for real-world application. I thrive in fast-paced environments, bringing effective teamwork and communication with sound judgement to tasks. With a curious mindset and a willingness to learn, I do well in breaking down complex issues into their parts and working methodically toward their resolution.
