Driving on the N1, seeing how aesthetically the Adams building looked, I never thought I’d one day be part of the firm.
However, when I join the firm through the Secretarial Training Programme in 2015, I realized how much I undervalued myself. The programme was a great experience and I got to learn a lot in the universe of law.
This has since motived me immensely and the firm also presented me with a buffet of growth and I am now a Paralegal in the Trade Mark Prosecution department.
When I left my previous employment (as a call centre agent) living off a salary to join the Secretarial training programme and get a stipend, this was a huge adjustment; however, I am living proof that good things indeed take time and require sacrifices.
