    Hello! I figured I may as well introduce myself seeing how I've been on this platform for a little over a year. I am a future trainee at an international law firm and am currently a paralegal at the same firm. I came to the UK from HK as an international student to do my LL.B at a non-RG university. Right after I graduated, I decided to do an LL.M at an RG university, specialising in corporate and financial law. I got my TC offer last application cycle after doing a VS at the firm, which I have the TCLA resources and community to thank for where I am today.

    I'd love to give back to the community, so please feel free to message me if you've got any questions about applications and whatnot. Equally, I am happy to have a chat and a laugh.
