Summary

I am a consciencious and versitle fourth-year Arts/Law (Honours) student at the University of Queensland. I am ambitious and pride myself in producing the best output for any task I am presented with, no matter how small it might be. I believe my academic acheivements and commitment I have demonstrated in my current role, is indicative of my work ethic and ambition. Being a Law Clerk for over a year now, has enhanced my interest in the legal profession as well as developed my interpersonal and professional skills.

I am looking to extend my practical legal experience by reaching into a more diverse array of practice areas. However in particular, I have a vested interest in exploring commercial and corporate law, as I am drawn to the way these fields intersect with broader questions of policy, people, and the economy.

  • In my role as a law clerk, I have gained hands-on legal experience that has sharpened my understanding of the law in practice and enhanced the value of my academic studies.
  • My responsibilities span both litigation support and operational tasks, including instructing and briefing counsel for court appearances, drafting court documents, and undertaking high-level legal research to inform case strategy and support solicitors on complex matters.
  • I am also trusted with managing sensitive client communications and performing critical administrative and financial functions-such as overseeing trust account compliance, processing disbursements, and maintaining accurate financial records in accordance with legal and ethical standards.
  • A particularly meaningful aspect of this role has been the client-facing dimension, where I regularly engage with individuals navigating emotionally challenging circumstances.
  • This has refined my interpersonal and client relationship management skills, reinforcing the importance of clarity, empathy, and responsiveness in legal service delivery.
