Experience

I am a successful law graduate who recently completed the Legal Practice Course while continuing my work for a Member of Parliament. I bring enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and a high level of reliability to all my endeavours.

Understanding the importance of teamwork, I prioritise effective communication with colleagues and peers. As a passionate problem solver and highly creative thinker, I am always eager to learn and explore new ideas.

My commitment to community involvement and making a positive impact is demonstrated through my role as a Trustee for a local homeless charity and my active participation in local projects aimed at improving the lives of those in need.
