I am a passionate, articulate, and focused young lady who is great at working under pressure and managing an intense workload. My drive, ambition, and ability to work with almost anyone are what sets me apart from others. I am confident that the experience and work ethic I will be exposed to at this law firm will guide me into shaping my law career.
I am a fast and articulate writer, with an eye for detail, and this I hope will be an added advantage to my execution of duties where competent writing is an incidental prerequisite to the required performance for the task that would have been assigned to me. 01/2022 - Current 01/2022 - Current 04/2022 - Current Programme & essay
