What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a progressive firm that values sustainability and innovation.

I am a dedicated legal professional with a strong foundation in commercial law, having earned my LLB (Hons) from Staffordshire University. My academic journey has been complemented by various certifications, including an ACIArb credential and a professional certificate in digital marketing. I have a keen interest in animal advocacy and sustainable practices, which I have pursued through my studies and professional experiences.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience working with prestigious law firms such as Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner and Linklaters, where I managed project operations, conducted legal drafting, and developed innovative marketing strategies. My role as a Climate Change Global Intern at Clifford Chance allowed me to delve into climate-related laws and their implications for businesses, while my internship at Varners honed my skills in due diligence and regulatory compliance.

In addition to my legal expertise, I have a strong background in digital marketing and social media management, having successfully led campaigns that significantly increased engagement and conversions. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to meaningful legal reforms and advocate for sustainable practices in the corporate sector.
