My Job Title: Trainee Solicitor
Date I Joined Ralli: October 2008
Professional Qualifications:
MA Law from University of Cambridge
MSc in Criminal Justice from Queen's University Belfast
LPC with distinction from BPP Law School, Manchester
What do I do at work?
Currently I am working in the Regulatory Corporate and Serious Crime Department, which is my first seat as a trainee. I work with Solicitors in the department on a variety of matters, as well as assisting counsel in court. The role is diverse and rewarding, with each day bringing a new challenge.
In the next 18 months I look forward to completing seats in the Personal Injury, Commercial Litigation and Corporate departments.
What have I done?
Although originally from County Down, I studied for my undergraduate degree at Cambridge University, spending three very memorable years at Pembroke College. Whilst at University I tried to throw myself into college life as much as possible by participating in a variety of sports and societies, including football, netball and tennis.
Since Cambridge, I have studied for a Masters degree, worked as a paralegal and travelled throughout Australia, Thailand and Europe.
What do I like?
I enjoy playing and watching sport, particularly football and netball. I recently completed the Manchester BUPA 10k run for the charity Factor 50 and have now been bitten by the running bug!
I also enjoy going to the cinema, gigs and the theatre.
