Internship Dates:
September 2011

Where you call Home?
Adelaide, Australia

Where are you now?
Adelaide, Australia

Where have you been in between?
I have continued living here, but have had a few International holidays! 

Career progression since TP?
A few months after completing the internship I opened my little ice cream shop in Semaphore, South Australia. I am still running the business and have opened a second business (a burger bar) a few doors down from the ice cream shop. I now also have an 8 month old son so am enjoying the flexibility of self- employment (most of the time!) and being able to work around caring for him.

Personal highlights?
Operating business, getting married, having a child, travel

Interests beyond the Law?
Food & Hospitality, Interior Design, Travel

The future…..?
Who knows! Hopefully keep living the good life by the beach, feeling happy in what I am doing, having plenty of time to spend with family. I hope to always feel excited for the future and the possibilities that lie ahead.

Reflections on your time in Kuala Lumpur and at Thomas Philip?
I love KL! I have been back a few times since the internship. If the option to stay a few days en route to somewhere else is there I will always take it.
I didn't get to complete the full month, but thoroughly enjoyed my week at TP. It was great to see another side to KL than what I previously had and get to meet and work with lawyers in Malaysia.
