Summary

With a background in criminology, film, retail sales, and now court administration, I believe I'd bring a diverse blend of analytical thinking, communication skills, and adaptability. My current role at the Ministry of Justice in Wellington has strengthened my ability to manage sensitive information, work under pressure, and collaborate across teams, all of which I’m eager to apply in a more creative environment.

Work History

Court Registry Officer

Ministry of Justice
Wellington CBD, Wellington
09.2024 - Current
  • Prepared case files, including researching information as needed.
  • Organized, filed, and distributed legal documents to the appropriate parties.
  • Responsible for processing court documents and maintaining records in a timely manner.

The role of Court Registry Officer has been the most engaging and impactful start to my career, offering a unique front-row seat to real world stories of human behaviour, justice, and societal impact. Over the past nine months at the District Court, I’ve developed strong communication and coordination skills through daily interactions with diverse stakeholders—from legal professionals and court staff to victims and defendants. This has sharpened my ability to manage complex information under pressure and deliver it clearly and sensitively. Being immersed in the justice system has deepened my passion for understanding real issues and my interest in how narratives are presented to the public. I’m now eager to bring this insight, along with my professional discipline, into a media-focused environment where I can contribute to meaningful content and effective communication.
