Summary

As a dedicated third-year law student with strong analytical skills and a genuine passion for personal injury law, I am eager to leverage my knowledge acquired through university education and professional experience thus far. I am enthusiastic about gaining a deeper understanding of personal injury law and the process of the Insurance Commission of Western Australia. My goal is to contribute effectively to a personal injury law firm, applying the skills i have acquired in previous roles, and dedication to provide exceptional service to clients and enhance the firm's success.
