I am a dynamic and determined individual with a strong work ethic and who has strong family and moral values. My life experience consists of working self -employed, motherhood and teaching a multitude of learners within a college. My path to Law has been unique, yet as an older student my motivation, passion and dedication are at a high standard and this is reflected into my studies, using any spare time to learn as much as I can about different areas of law. I may only be at the beginning of my Law career, but my life, people and work experience along with my dedication, motivation and drive will be an asset to any position I hold.
