What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and meaningful contributions in the legal field.

I am a dedicated legal professional currently pursuing an LLM in International Human Rights at Manchester Metropolitan University. My academic journey, complemented by practical experiences, has equipped me with the ability to navigate complex legal issues effectively. I am passionate about contributing to a dynamic legal environment where I can apply my analytical skills and strong work ethic.

Throughout my experiences, including my role as a legal intern at the London Family Mediation Centre, I have honed my skills in client handling, administration, and legal research. I thrive in collaborative settings and have demonstrated my ability to assist solicitors in various legal tasks, from organizing meetings to proofreading legal documents. My commitment to continuous learning and growth drives me to seek opportunities that challenge me and allow me to contribute meaningfully to the legal field.
