Summary

As an aspiring lawyer and recent university graduate, I have a strong desire to expose myself to diverse legal cases, institutions, and professionals. Working in a paralegal position would be a perfect fit, given my focus on meticulous and accurate task execution, resilience and organisational skills. Furthermore, I am drawn to intellectually stimulating and fast-paced environments-I thrive on being challenged!
