Summary
A young, motivated, and committed attorney-at-law. People are my passion, with a deep love for service to people, and my community. I find happiness in bringing joy and ease to other people's lives. I am a firm believer in 'alone we can do so little; together we can do so much' — Helen Keller.
Both in our everyday lives, the wider society, and in the legal profession, people are faced with unique challenges, and I am continuously intrigued by and interested in finding ways, whether socially or legally, to ease those challenges.
