What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, collaboration, and impactful project execution.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in project management and legal research. Currently, I serve as a Special Projects Associate at Human Inc, where I oversee multiple projects, ensuring seamless execution and effective communication between leadership and cross-functional teams. My role involves co-facilitating leadership workshops and mentoring interns, which has honed my skills in strategic planning and client relationship management.

Previously, I completed a legal apprenticeship where I conducted research and drafted legal opinions on complex litigation matters. This experience has equipped me with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, essential for navigating the legal landscape. Additionally, my role as a Debate Trainer has allowed me to develop my coaching abilities and foster communication skills in students, further enhancing my capacity to lead and mentor effectively.
