Summary
As a final year law student with hands on paralegal and administrative experience, I'm passionate about making legal services accessible to those who need them most. I bring strong skills in legal documentation, research, and client care, along with experience supporting diverse communities through trauma-informed approaches. I'm eager to grow in a paralegal or senior administrative role, particularly in family and criminal law, where I can advocate for domestic violence survivors and Aboriginal youth facing legal barriers. My goal is to help address the overrepresentation of First Nations people in our justice system by providing culturally sensitive support, and connecting clients with the resources they need to rebuild their lives.
