Summary
I’m a dedicated law student and paralegal, currently working in a sexual abuse firm that helps bring justice through compensation, to survivors. My work revolves around a strong commitment to integrity, kindness, and compassion. I am driven by the belief that the study of law is a powerful tool for change, inspiring my ambition to transition into a role as a lawyer and instil the legal field with empathy and understanding. With my diverse experience in property law, workers’ compensation, and historical childhood sexual abuse, I’ve developed a skill set that enables me to efficiently handle complex cases.
