Summary

My professional career consists primarily of working in the Mechanical, Transport and logistics industries. I have been accepted into a Bachelor of Laws and I intend to complete my degree in three years. I seek a consideration for an entry-level position to commence some practical legal training in this field to enhance my understanding of Law. I am a new student and have a passion for justice and I am very enthusiastic to begin this new chapter in my new career path.
