Summary

I am an enthusiastic certified Legal Engineer with expertise in project management, document automation, and legal technology. I have spent the last three years in the Client Solutions team with my career focus on advancing my consultancy skills. During my time as a Solutions Analyst I personally built a new service for the business, successfully rolled out new tech solutions and introduced a knowledge training platform for users who want to learn more about legal tech. Those are a handful of examples where in which I have gone above and beyond, past my job description, something I strive for within myself.


An example of a skill that I am proud of is that I am excellent at identifying the root cause of issues and delivering practical solutions, while utilising a unique skill set in data analysis, process improvement and strategic planning.


Also I have proven myself valuable with my capability in translating business requirements into effective solutions, ensuring organisational goals are met and exceeded.


I have further strengthened my legal expertise from my law degree and my passion for technology into delivering impactful technology to enhance operational efficiency and general excitement of the enhancement of modern day technology. This is something I am extremely proud of and passionate about.
