I have recently completed the Internationally Trained Lawyer Pathway through classes with law students at the University of Alberta. I have my degrees recognized in Canada through World Education Services. Throughout my education and employment, I have built valuable skills and abilities that give me the foundations to succeed in the articling position in your firm. Mentoring students and reaching out to them while I was working as a lecturer at university showed me how to build my communication skills, improve my public speaking and listen profoundly to others’ opinions. As a contract reviewer, I reinforced my analytical ability to check for inaccuracies and became detail-oriented. Representing my clients in courts, helped me to learn how to alleviate tensions in solicitor-client relations and follow my clients’ best interests in litigations. My volunteer activities in ECLC show my enthusiasm to help marginalized people and newcomers in particular those who speak Farsi.
