Junior Attorney
Resume:
CARLI VENTER
CANDIDATE LEGAL PRACTITIONER
I am an enthusiastic and hardworking candidate legal practitioner at a top personal injury law firm. In 2015 I left home and pursued my High School Diploma in Athens, Greece where I learnt to be independent and open to new opportunities. During this time I was able to attend sporting events throughout Europe and completed a Summer Program at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA. I made use of every opportunity at Stellenbosch University and whilst studying I was an active member of a Student Organisation which added great value to my university experience. When the opportunity arrived to partake in a semester abroad program at Leiden University, Netherlands I grabbed the opportunity and spent 6 months applying my knowledge to international law courses, whilst travelling and meeting people from all over the world. I believe my willingness to take on new and daunting challenges prepares me for any work environment.
