How We Live Our Values: Excellence
I value clarity in all my communications, whether with clients, colleagues or government bodies. Leading the project to map all the tasks completed by our team was a good example. By clearly defining each task and its requirements, I improved efficiency and helped ensure everyone was aligned, reflecting our commitment to clarity and excellence in how we work.
In My Own Words
I’ve always been intrigued by how new ideas can transform industries and improve lives. That curiosity naturally led me to a career where I could help protect and support those ideas.
A defining moment for me was becoming team leader for the chemistry and pharma paralegal team. Managing a team brought new challenges and opportunities for growth. It helped me build my leadership skills and create a collaborative environment where others could thrive. Seeing my team succeed, and knowing I played a part in that, has been incredibly rewarding.
