Professional Background

I completed my LLB at Glasgow Caledonian University in 2022 and at the time I was not sure which direction I wanted my career to take so I decided to do a Master’s degree in Law at Glasgow University where I studied different areas of Law, more specifically autonomous weapons and artificial intelligence in war spaces and in organised crime.

Upon finishing my Master’s I was yet again at a stage where I was not sure which direction to take. At this point I started to progress at Wallace Quinn as a Trainee Paralegal which I have really enjoyed. It has created a desire to progress and develop my knowledge in Conveyancing. Since then I have decided to work towards the Diploma in Legal Practice with the intention to commence a traineeship at Wallace Quinn. 

How did you end up in this role?

I first discovered Wallace Quinn through one of our former Directors who was looking for an Administration Assistant to work in our Livingston office in 2021. At that point I was still a student completing my LLB and was looking for experience in the legal field. I have also accepted a Traineeship subject to the completion of my studies which should hopefully commence in 2025.

What aspects of your job do you find most fulfilling?

As I have progressed through Wallace Quinn, I have found that the most fulfilling aspect of my role is the ability to meet our clients in person and add a personal touch to their transactions. Building these personal connections and contributing positively to their legal experiences brings a deep sense of satisfaction.

Could you describe your day at Wallace Quinn?

My day-to-day activities include working on and maintaining clients transactions, more specifically in our Residential Conveyancing Department. My tasks vary on a daily basis ranging from liaising with clients, maintaining files and assisting my colleagues where they require me.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with friends and family, and most importantly, my cats. I also have a passion for playing badminton, which allows me to indulge in my competitive nature while staying active and healthy.
