What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for growth in compliance and legal technology.

I am a law graduate with a strong foundation in legal research, critical thinking, and effective communication. My studies abroad have equipped me with adaptability and a global mindset, allowing me to thrive in research-intensive, analytical roles. I am particularly passionate about the intersection of law and technology, especially in the evolving landscape of AI and ethics.

Currently, I work as a Legal Associate, where I draft and review commercial contracts, conduct legal research, and support regulatory compliance. My previous experiences include advising on fintech-related legal documentation and contributing to Initial Public Offering proposals. I am eager to apply my legal expertise and problem-solving skills in part-time roles that involve innovation and compliance.
