Summary
I am a highly driven and passionate individual, currently completing my Masters in Law at Trinity College Dublin. I am seeking a summer internship to provide an insight into the work of one of Ireland's leading law firms, with the hope of becoming one day a trainee, and then qualified solicitor. I confidently take on challenges, supported by my academic background and extra activities which have harnessed my teamwork, interpersonal and communication skills. I am motivated to use and grow my problem solving skills, writing skills and legal knowledge alongside experts in the field.
