Summary

I am a dynamic, creative, and people-focused future legal professional with a strong academic foundation in law and a passion for communication and problem-solving. After completing three years of study at Victoria University of Wellington, I am excited to resume and complete my Bachelor of Laws at the University of Waikato. With over five years of experience in sales and several years coaching young athletes, I have developed strong skills in building trust, resolving complex challenges, and leading diverse groups with empathy and intelligence. I am highly motivated to gain practical experience in the legal field, where I can apply my creativity, strategic thinking, and strong interpersonal abilities to support clients and contribute to a professional legal team.
