Summary

I am currently completing a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) at La Trobe University and am in my final year of study. Through my academic journey and diverse professional experience, I have built a strong foundation in legal analysis, client service, and problem-solving. My work in hospitality, administration, and paralegal support has strengthened my ability to operate with integrity, attention to detail, and professionalism in dynamic, client-facing environments.

I am motivated by opportunities to deliver excellent outcomes in complex and evolving contexts, and I thrive in collaborative settings where teamwork and mutual support drive success. My adaptability, strong work ethic, and commitment to continuous learning allow me to contribute meaningfully to both clients and colleagues.

I am drawn to roles that allow me to make a positive impact in my participation, where I can combine technical legal skills with a focus on people, relationships, and sustainable results.
