Why did you choose to work with Davies?
I chose to work with Davies as the firm has a great culture of teamwork and commitment to achieving consistently excellent results. This gave me the confidence that I would be able to work at an environment where I could grow quickly and learn from experienced lawyers. The wonderful conversations I had with each lawyer that I encountered at Davies further allowed me to feel connected to the firm.
What fictional character do you identify most with?
I identify most with Belle from Beauty and the Beast! I admire her curiosity, courage and her inquisitiveness. Her love of learning and going beneath the surface level to understand situations around her resonates with me, as well as her ability to stay positive in stressful situations.
Is there a skill you would like to learn?
I would love to learn ballet. I think it's such an elegant combination of grace and discipline. In addition, I admire the dedication it takes to learn the techniques and the artistry involved. Ballet also requires patience and perseverance which are qualities I value in my work. I think it would be a great way to challenge myself physically and mentally while expressing creativity in a new form.
