Aspiring lawyer with strong leadership and analytical skills.
What I'm looking for
I am currently pursuing my Juris Doctor at the University of Southern Queensland, where I am honing my legal expertise and analytical skills. My educational background in Kinesiology and Health Studies has equipped me with a unique perspective on health-related legal matters, enhancing my ability to address complex issues effectively.
In my professional journey, I have served as a Litigation Manager at Anderson Sinclair Law Office, where I successfully managed client files, drafted legal documents in both English and French, and conducted post-judgment enforcement reviews. My experience as a Night Auditor at Hyatt Place Hotels has further developed my attention to detail and financial acumen, ensuring accurate reporting and effective communication across departments.
With a strong commitment to client service and a proven ability to build relationships, I am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic legal environment. I thrive in collaborative settings and am dedicated to continuous improvement and efficiency in all my endeavors.
