Palmerston North, 4410 / Dunedin, 9016

Summary

I am a dedicated Law student at the University of Otago, currently in my third year of study. I bring strong leadership and teamwork skills developed through my time at Palmerston North Girls' High School and extensive involvement in extracurricular activities. I am proactive, positive, and adaptable, with proven experience balancing academic study, work, and volunteering. My background in customer service, event organisation, and community engagement has built excellent communication, problem-solving, and organisational skills, which I am eager to apply in future roles.
