Ideal for law students who are...

  • First-generation law students

    These students might lack familiarity with the legal field and the expectations of law school and are seeking pragmatic tips, tools and templates in their legal studies.

  • Students suffering imposter syndrome

    These students lack confidence and need to overcome imposter syndrome! They want to quickly develop a game plan for tackling their studies.

  • Non-traditional law school students

    These students might be older and transitioning from other careers who may face challenges adjusting to the academic environment and balancing personal responsibilities.

Three ways I can help you...

  • Provide you with a practical four-phase blueprint for developing your own master study notes. This framework and associated templates will help you establish effective study practices in preparation for your assessments.

  • Provide you with tutorials, tools and templates for conducting legal research and navigating the complexities of legal education.

  • Provide you with tips on how to approach large quantities of learning content and how to document information for a specific purpose.

Does any of this sound familiar?

"Am I smart enough to succeed at law school?"

"How do I manage all the assigned readings?"

"What if I don’t understand the material as well as other law students?"

"What is the best way to take study notes at law school?"

If any of these thoughts have been running through your mind, you're not alone!

My professional journey has been dedicated to consulting and contracting on transformative projects across various corporate organisations and governmental departments.

The first phase of my career focused on Learning & Development roles within the Information Technology and Financial Services industries in Sydney, Australia and Bangalore, India.

The second phase involved a broad range of Change Management roles in Financial Services and the NSW Government.

In the third phase, following a move to Canberra, I transitioned into Business Analyst roles with various Federal Government departments. Despite my senior years, my aspirations lead me to another transition towards a legal role. Currently, I am contracting as a Business Analyst with the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions in their Digital Transformation Office, working on a range of ICT systems used by Federal Prosecutors.
