What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my legal skills while fostering professional growth in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated legal assistant with extensive experience in customer service and legal documentation. My current role as a paralegal at Winn Solicitors has honed my skills in managing a large caseload, drafting court documents, and building rapport with clients. I thrive in both team environments and independent settings, showcasing my ability to balance multiple responsibilities effectively.

Currently in my final year at Northumbria University, I am on track to achieve a First Class Honours in my MLaw degree. My academic journey, combined with practical experience in legal settings, has equipped me with a solid foundation in legal principles and practices. I am fluent in Mauritian Creole and proficient in French, which enhances my ability to communicate with diverse clients.
