What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to advocate for clients and engage in environmental justice.

I am a dedicated law student at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, with a strong commitment to client advocacy and environmental justice. My experiences as a Legal Clerk at Ingrid Melville & Company Attorneys-at-Law and as an Assistant at Justice on the Move Mobile Clinic have equipped me with essential skills in legal research, client relations, and document drafting.

Throughout my academic journey, I have actively engaged in various initiatives, including the Eco-Technology Justice Femme Lex Cohort and the Caribbean Youth Leadership Academy. These experiences have not only enhanced my legal knowledge but also deepened my commitment to creating sustainable precedents and advocating for environmental issues. I am eager to leverage my education and experiences to contribute positively to the legal field.
