What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters professional growth and allows me to utilize my legal expertise and customer service skills to make a positive impact.

I am a dedicated and ambitious individual with a strong foundation in law and paralegal studies. Currently pursuing my Paralegal certification, I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to an organization where I can grow and make a meaningful impact. My career objective is to leverage my legal knowledge, excellent communication skills, and customer service experience to support and facilitate the success of a dynamic team.

Throughout my experiences, I have developed a solid understanding of legal processes, having worked as a Legal Assistant at AFA Legal Services where I prepared and filed legal documents and researched tenancy laws. My volunteer roles have further honed my organizational and communication skills, allowing me to effectively liaise with clients and provide administrative support. I am particularly interested in roles that offer opportunities for professional development and where I can utilize my problem-solving abilities to assist clients and enhance organizational efficiency.
