Background

I am a confident and energetic individual with an eagerness to learn and develop personal skills. With a methodical and effective approach to solving problems, I am career driven and looking to gain fresh experience in a challenging client-facing role in a new environment. I am an accomplished home cook with a passion for discovering new cuisines and techniques. I have a flair for hosting dinner parties for my friends and enjoy taking responsibility for meals on group holidays; often catering for up to 20 people.


Job experience

  • September 2024 - present
    Legal Support Administrator
    Irwin Mitchell
    Sheffield, UK

    Since starting my position at Irwin Mitchell, I have built on my strong foundation of communication and organisational skills as I continue to gain experience in a professional workplace and improve my understanding of the day to day workings of a legal office. I have developed a better understanding of my personal career aspirations and the case specific support that a firm like IM can provide to clients as they undergo challenging personal injury claims. Despite not being in a client facing role, I have found it incredibly satisfying seeing the settlements our solicitors work so hard to achieve for our clients; to play a small part in delivering justice is very motivating.

  • August 2019 - September 2024
    Crew Member
    McDonalds
    Farnborough, UK

    Teamwork and communication-oriented position in a pressurised and fast paced work environment with strict deadlines and quality requirements. Required an adept understanding of customer service to provide the best experience possible including through managing complaints.


Education

  • Swansea University
    LLB Bachelor of Laws (Hons), 2:1
    2021 - 2024
    Throughout my degree, I thoroughly enjoyed deepening my understanding of the law across a wide range of modules. The challenge of consistent essay writing developed my analytical and communication skills - some of my favourites included presenting an argument that the law is not doing enough to protect nature at this critical stage of the nature crisis, debating the scope of the definition of terrorism and hypothesising on the moral impacts of technology and its role in the governance of our population.
