What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that allows me to utilize my legal expertise while fostering creativity and growth.

I am a dedicated legal professional with extensive experience in drafting and managing various legal documents across multiple sectors, including entertainment and corporate law. My journey began with a strong academic foundation, earning a Bachelor of Laws with First Class Honors and a Bachelor of Business & Commerce with Distinction from the University of Western Sydney.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills as a Corporate Associate and Litigation Associate at prestigious firms, where I successfully drafted complex agreements and legal documents. My role as an Entertainment Associate allowed me to engage directly with clients, managing numerous active projects while ensuring compliance with legal standards. Currently, I am leveraging my expertise as a freelance content writer, creating insightful legal blogs that resonate with diverse audiences.
