Summary
I am adept in administrative tasks and legal support enhanced efficiency while managing a hotel complex in Spain. I worked under and assisted the legal practitioners at Odessa Legal Aid Center while I was on my way to obtaining a degree in civil law system. I was fortunate to work in one of the Australian's legal firms as a legal assistant, which introduced me to the basics of working in the common law system. Fluent in four languages, I am resilient and have a proven talent for problem-solving and attention to details. I can adapt to any role and achieve any task required. Self-motivated and passionate to study the Australian legal system, I am seeking any opportunity in legal practice to fulfill my dream of becoming a lawyer.
