About

I graduated with a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Communication (Digital and Social Media) from the University of Technology Sydney. I am pursuing a legal career, with a particular interest in Technology, Media and Telecommunications, Dispute Resolution, Government, and Digital Law. Through my versatile experience as a Law Clerk and Paralegal within the public and private sectors, I have developed my professionalism and commercial awareness. My practical skills include legal research to support the delivery of robust advice, drafting and reviewing documents (e.g. contracts, affidavits, statements of fact), and preparation for settlement and litigation, providing me with a thorough understanding of court procedures for criminal and civil matters.
