ABOUT ME

Welcome to my online CV! I'm Luella, a second-year uni student pursuing a Bachelor of Laws, as well as a Bachelor of Arts (Extended Major in International Relations and Minor in Psychology, BA/LLB) at The University of Queensland. I believe the combination of these disciplines provides me with a deep understanding of the legal and geopolitical frameworks that shape the international system. I am collaborative, curious and determined, and I work best in environments with high expectations for initiative and work ethic. Outside of my university studies and career aspirations, my personal interests include music, financial investing, travel, fitness, languages and literature.

I aim to pursue a career that helps to advance equitable legal and policy frameworks around the world. I am particularly interested in international legal consultancy, where I can contribute to advisory work, diplomatic engagement, and development-focused initiatives within the global arena. I’m always interested in legal and global governance/geopolicy internship opportunities that will help me grow and contribute in meaningful ways 🌏
