What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth in legal compliance and technology.

I am a dedicated legal professional with extensive experience in legal and administrative matters. My journey has equipped me with the skills to handle complex legal proceedings, conduct thorough research, and provide sound advice on regulatory issues. I have a strong background in case management and legal drafting, which has allowed me to excel in various roles within the legal field.

Previously, I served as a Global Legal and Compliance Intern at Jacobs Douwe Egberts in the Netherlands, where I drafted and reviewed corporate policies and guidelines, and researched the legal implications of AI technologies. And recently I completed a Legal and Compliance internship at Fugro, where I also contributed significantly to the company's operations. My previous roles, including working as a Legal Practitioner in Greece, have honed my ability to manage legal proceedings and provide internal legal support on compliance matters. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute positively to the legal landscape.
