My academic experience has fostered a particular interest in family law and how to apply it to the real world. I am currently seeking an entry-level legal position in the Manchester area, where I can gain hands-on experience and begin building my career in the legal profession.

Hobbies
Engaging in regular gym and swimming activities has been transformative for my mental health and overall discipline. The physical exertion not only releases endorphins, which elevate mood, but it also instils a sense of structure and commitment in my daily routine. The dedication required for consistent workouts has spilled over into other aspects of my life, teaching me the value of perseverance and goal setting. In both the gym and the pool, I find solace, mental clarity, and the strength to navigate life's challenges with a resilient mindset.
