Summary
A dedicated and goal-oriented student currently pursuing a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) and Bachelor of Arts in Politics (POLS) at the University of Otago. As a perfectionist, I strive for excellence in everything I do, consistently demonstrated through my academic achievements, including the University of Otago Vice-Chancellor's Scholarship and Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. My dedication extends beyond the classroom to meaningful volunteer work, where I’ve contributed to the Assisi Trust and St Vincent de Paul Society by preparing meals, delivering firewood, and collecting food donations for those in need. I take pride in my attention to detail and persistence in achieving the highest standards, whether in my studies, work, or community service.
