Summary

A recent graduate with a strong academic foundation and a keen interest in both intellectual property and business consultancy. While new to the field of trademark law, I am eager to apply my understanding of business strategy to protect and enhance brand value. My academic experience has equipped me with strong analytical, communication, and organizational skills, which I am ready to refine further in a professional setting. Passionate about both legal and business challenges, I am committed to continuous learning and growth, whether as a Trademark Trainee or a Business Consultant. I thrive in fast-paced environments, bringing a proactive approach to problem-solving and project management.
