I have been admitted to practice as a solicitor at the Supreme Court of South Australia on 19th February 2024. My qualifications encompass a robust capacity for recognizing and assessing legal matters, along with the ability to create diverse legal documents. I honed these skills significantly during my internship at the Women's Legal Service, where I had the chance to further develop them. Furthermore, I am skilled in using Microsoft Word, Outlook, and conducting legal research. Additionally, I possess a foundational understanding of LEAP software.
