Leila Mirza

Mill Hill,United Kingdom

Summary

A graduate with a BA in English Literature from the University of Bristol and a Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) from City, University of London, I bring strong analytical and critical thinking skills essential for legal analysis, argumentation, and problem-solving. Active participation in the university's journalism association has refined my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and persuasively, both in writing and verbally. In addition, my role in managing my family's restaurant has sharpened my attention to detail, customer service, and operational oversight, giving me practical insights into business management. These experiences ensure I can maintain accuracy in research and documentation, while my problem-solving abilities will enable me to effectively navigate complex legal challenges.
