Summary

Final year law student at Flinders University with a strong foundation in legal research, writing, and critical thinking. Electives in Dispute Management and Digital Law have equipped me with practical skills in negotiation, mediation, and legal tech, including designing workflows, using AI tools, and automating documents to improve access to justice. My background as a senior hairdresser has refined my communication, time management, and client-focused approach. I have also trained and supported junior apprentices, demonstrating leadership, patience, and the ability to mentor others effectively. Adaptable, detail-oriented, and confident working independently or in a team, I bring a practical mindset and a strong work ethic to any legal role.
