Aspiring legal professional with strong analytical and communication skills.

United Kingdom

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated law student at King's College London, where I have achieved a First Class Honours degree and ranked first in International Commercial Arbitration. My academic journey has been marked by excellence, including an academic scholarship during my A Levels and multiple awards during my IGCSEs. I am passionate about the law and committed to making a positive impact in the legal field.

In my professional experience, I have served as a Trainee Generalist Adviser at Citizens Advice Southwark, where I provide tailored advice to clients and ensure their needs are met effectively. My role involves analyzing problems, following up with clients, and capturing feedback to enhance service delivery. Additionally, I have experience as a Gateway Assessor, where I triaged clients and organized referrals, demonstrating my strong communication skills and ability to work under pressure.

Beyond my professional roles, I have taken on leadership positions, such as Head of Legal Writers at The Legists, where I managed a team and improved website traffic through strategic content alignment. I am also actively involved in mentoring first-year law students, helping them navigate their academic journeys. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a challenging legal role that allows for growth and contribution to meaningful projects.
