What I'm looking for

I seek a legal assistant/paralegal role where I can apply advanced legal research, drafting, and organizational skills, grow in technology and IP law, and contribute to client-focused teams in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated legal professional with first-class honors in LL.B and B.L, experienced in legal research, drafting, document review, and case preparation across civil, criminal, and technology law matters. I have supported law firms, legal clinics, and journals, contributed to policy and IP analysis, and led teams in youth-focused community initiatives.

I combine strong editorial skills and courtroom-focused research with proven organizational and communication strengths—facilitating programs for international participants, managing cross-functional volunteer teams, and producing publishable legal writing on emerging topics like AI, blockchain, and online dispute resolution.
