Summary

An ambitious, polite, and dedicated professional with expertise in social work and law. I possess strong organizational skills, proficiency in MS Office, and the ability to work independently or collaboratively while meeting multiple deadlines.

Through my LL.B. from BRAC University and LLM in Human Rights Law from Cardiff University, I developed critical thinking, leadership, and strong analytical skills. My Master of Social Work (Qualifying) at ACAP University College, combined with placements, provided practical experience in case management, client advocacy, community engagement, crisis intervention, risk assessment, and multidisciplinary teamwork. These experiences strengthened my resilience, cultural competency, ethical decision-making, and professional communication in supporting vulnerable individuals and communities.

In the migration field and law, I gained in-depth knowledge of immigration processes, policy frameworks, and compliance requirements, along with strong research, drafting, negotiation, and conflict resolution skills. This role also enhanced my ability to explain complex legal concepts clearly, and work with clients from diverse backgrounds.

I thrive on new challenges and am seeking a dynamic work placement that offers early responsibilities and opportunities to further develop practical skills.
