What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a litigation-focused role where I can strengthen drafting and legal research, support court processes, and provide clear client advisory support—while contributing reliable administrative coordination in a structured, fast-paced team.

I’m a highly motivated, detail-oriented legal professional with strong experience in legal practice, litigation support, and drafting. I’ve assisted with legal research and case preparation, supporting senior counsel during court proceedings through careful documentation and courtroom assistance.

I also bring client-facing competence through client interviews and confidential record maintenance, plus administrative coordination that keeps matters moving. Alongside my legal work, I’ve taught and lectured as a class teacher—planning lessons, assessing performance, and providing mentorship—skills that strengthen communication, organization, and time management in fast-paced environments.
