Legal Assistant

About

I am a recent graduate from the University of Ottawa, holding a Bachelor of Social Sciences with a focus on law, criminology, and human rights.Through my experience working with a criminal defence lawyer, I developed a strong interest in legal practice and gained firsthand exposure to courtroom proceedings, trial preparation, and evidence review. I supported case preparation by organizing legal materials, transcribing witness testimony and cross-examinations, and observing the development of legal arguments in real time.My academic background, combined with practical legal experience, has strengthened my analytical thinking, attention to detail, and ability to work in high-responsibility environments. I am particularly interested in opportunities within law firms, government, and policy-related fields where I can continue to build on this foundation.
