Having recently completed my first year of an LLB degree at the Open University, I bring a unique blend of academic rigor and real-world experience to my role. My academic pursuits deeply resonate with my day-to-day responsibilities, enriching my practical understanding of eDiscovery and internal investigations.
I'm not just confined to the textbooks; as a Volunteer Student Representative, I serve as a liaison between the student body and faculty, advocating for a better academic experience for all. This role highlights my commitment to community and leadership, traits I carry into my professional life.
My special interest lies at the intersection of law and technology. This passion informs my leadership in managing a team adept at navigating complex, multi-jurisdictional legal scenarios. It's this fusion of technology and law that excites me, driving continual learning and innovation within my firm.
