Summary
Highly focused and confident multilingual Australian lawyer who deeply knows client needs. I am an experienced lawyer with 3 years of local experience in a different field that spans various areas of law, including Commercial, Human rights, and migration. I completed my Law studies at Victoria University. My practical legal training (PLT) and diverse experience in criminal, family, civil, commercial, property, and wills were successfully acquired at the Leo Cussen Centre for Law. I was admitted to the Supreme Court of Victoria as an Australian lawyer in February 2022. I am enthusiastic about joining a law firm where I can contribute my professional skills to benefit their clients.
