Summary

I am a motivated second year Juris Doctor student at the University of Melbourne with a strong academic background in law and a passion for legal practice, eager to contribute to a professional legal team and further develop my expertise in the legal field. I am seeking an opportunity which will allow me to apply my knowledge and skills in a dynamic legal environment, with an interest in exploring various areas of law, however I have a particular interest in criminal law, prosecution and Administrative Law. I would describe myself as an organised and dependable individual who is successful when it comes to managing multiple priorities while also maintaining an upbeat and positive attitude which is of equal importance within any team. I also recognise the importance of taking on additional responsibilities in order to meet team goals and I endeavour to demonstrate this by completing the task at hand to the best of my ability.
