About

First-year law student with an interest in corporate and international law. I am particularly interested in the legal frameworks that support businesses, investment, and cross-border commerce. I enjoy analysing complex legal issues and developing practical, commercially minded solutions. Alongside my studies, I actively seek opportunities to develop my leadership, communication, and analytical skills through student initiatives and community involvement. As a first-generation law student, I am committed to learning from experienced practitioners, building meaningful professional relationships, and gaining practical exposure to the legal profession. I aspire to build a career advising clients on corporate transactions and international commercial matters.
