Intern
FCO Services.gov.ukIntern
Aug. 2017 - Aug. 2017Brussels Area, BelgiumI had a brief internship with the United Kingdom Permanent Representation to the European Union in Brussels. I worked under the legal department and aided in the preparation, commentary and analysis of legislation and proposed bills following the Brexit vote, assessing how they would be received from a European perspective and providing this information to London.
Intern
LinklatersIntern
Dec. 2016 - Dec. 2016Brussels Area, BelgiumI was given the opportunity to work in the Brussels office of Linklaters LLP in the corporate department. I helped with drafting documents, minuting meetings and helping with the early stage preparation of securities documentation. The office was a very enjoyable one to be in and the partners and associates I worked with helped me gain as much as possible from the experience.
Intern
GenworthIntern
Sep. 2015 - Sep. 2015London, United KingdomI worked as an aide to the head of legal council for Europe at Genworth’s mortgage insurance offices. I drafted a power of attorney document and proofread and edited the company’s new master policy. I was also asked to take minutes for every meeting that took place for the duration of my time there. It was an enlightening experience as I'd never worked in house before and I enjoyed the environment of the office. I also found that having direct involvement in various departments of the company, such as their political lobbying committee, was refreshing and informative. At the end of my time I was asked to stay on as a paralegal and finish my studies remotely, but I decided I'd rather see out my time at Glasgow University.

Jun. 2015 - Jul. 2015Brussels Area, BelgiumI worked in the banking department of Laga LLP, the subsidiary law firm to Deloitte in Belgium. I drafted various documents, such as NDAs, engagement letters and advisory emails. I also spent a lot of my time translating documents from French to English for Irish clients.
Delegation Manager
People to People Student TravelDelegation Manager
Jun. 2014 - Aug. 2015United KingdomI worked as a delegation manager for the summer seasons of 2014 and 2015 at Enriching Cultural Experiences/ People to People. My duties ranged from organizing the logistics of the trip, such as checking the group into hotels and organizing restaurants, to providing emotional support for the group. I feel that the experience helped me to develop skills such as communication, organisation, multi-tasking and time management. This was the first time I’d been given responsibility for not only the course of the trip but also for the wellbeing and happiness of the group of 50. It was a truly memorable learning experience which I feel I have come away from much more prepared for the working world.
Intern
Allen & OveryIntern
Jun. 2012 - Aug. 2012Frankfurt Am Main Area, GermanyI became an intern in the Frankfurt office of A & O in the summer of 2012. I primarily worked in the capital markets team, drafting and proofreading IPOs for American companies wishing to float on the German stock exchange. I was also given the opportunity to spend time working in their German M&A department. I feel the experience gave me an in depth view of what working in a major full service law firm would entail and the experience was invaluable.
