This morning, I was finally admitted into the legal profession in the Supreme Court of Queensland in Brisbane. It has been a long journey, from commencing my studies in law at Griffith University in 2019, completing my PLT with Leo Cussen Centre for Law in 2022, my professional placements at Metro North Legal Services and volunteering at Caxton Legal Centre.

I had put going ahead with my application for admission on hold in order to focus on putting together my research proposal for PhD in mental health law, which I commenced at the beginning of this year at QUT. Having completed my first 3-month milestone documents for my PhD, I felt it was time to focus again on putting together my application. I was grateful for the support of the mentors at Leo Cussen, to those individuals who were willing to provide my character references, as well as Ben Cohen from Bartley Cohen who provided assistance with getting my application across the line.

I am grateful to completed this stage of my journey, and look forward to seeing what the future holds in my career.

Feel free to reach out either on this page or by email. My contact details are on my webpage/blog too, https://pidgethink.net
