CV (Curriculum Vitae) / Résumé
Before I became a qualified solicitor in the private sector, I had extensive project managerial experience of over 5 years of the not for profit sector. The most prominent being as Project Manager at Stirling Citizens’ Advice Bureau. I developed an advice service in conjunction with Stirling and District Association for Mental Health.
My academic and legal background has equipped me with excellent writing and research skills that I bring to all my assignments.
I am now operating as a home based freelance legal consultant, Italian translator and English teacher in both the UK and Italy that perfectly suits my excellent natural skills for self-discipline, motivation and time management. I have a proven ability to manage a varied caseload, to understand organizational needs and advise accordingly. Ability to work on a self-directed basis and as part of a team. Assessment of client’s needs and delivery of work within agreed timescales. Clear and effective communicator with considerable experience of developing presentations to both large and small groups. I am a native English speaker, with Intermediate/Fluent Italian both verbal and written
