Law student with legal research, drafting, and crisis management experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a determined law student with hands-on experience in legal support, crisis management, and strategic problem-solving gained through internships and clinic work. I perform well under pressure and bring precision and analytical thinking to fast-paced legal environments.
My practical experience includes client interactions, drafting legal documents such as briefs and letters under supervision, legal research and analysis, and court document filing. I have supported case file management and compliance checks while developing policy advisory skills.
I complement my legal training with digital marketing experience that enhances firm visibility and client engagement, giving me a business-savvy perspective on legal work. I am committed to confidentiality, ethics, and collaborative teamwork.
I am eager to contribute meaningfully to dynamic legal teams, continue building practical litigation and compliance skills, and support client-centered, high-quality legal services.
