Summary
I am a recent LLB Law graduate with practical experience across immigration, property, and commercial law.
During my internships, I gained strong skills in research, drafting, and case preparation, while also building confidence working directly with clients and solicitors. My background in both legal and client-focused roles has strengthened my ability to communicate clearly, manage sensitive information, and resolve issues effectively.
I am eager to build on this foundation and contribute as a paralegal or trainee solicitor, bringing enthusiasm, adaptability, and a genuine interest in helping clients achieve the best outcomes.
