Internship Dates
November 2012
Where do you call Home?
I grew up in Melbourne, Australia.
Where are you now?
I currently live in Sydney, Australia
Career progression since TP?
Since my Thomas Philip Internship, I have worked in a number of capacities, including with the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner (Melbourne), LegalVision (Sydney) and Maurice Blackburn Lawyers (Sydney). I am currently working for the Australian Taxation Office (Sydney) as a lawyer and studying for my Masters of Law at the University of Sydney.
Personal highlights?
In terms of my career, my personal highlights involved working on high profile covert investigations at the ATO. In terms of personal highlights, it would have to be finding the love of my life in India.
The future….?
In relation to my future career plans, I intend to stay in tax law. Towards the end of 2020 or start or 2021, I am moving overseas for approximately 1-2 years (to the US or UK) and I hope to stay in tax but will go with the flow.
Interests away from work?
My interests outside of work are travel. Last year, I travelled overseas on four separate occasions and I spent the majority of my outside of work hours planning, saving and travelling. Otherwise, I enjoy Netflix and pigging out.
Reflections on your time in Kuala Lumpur and at Thomas Philip?
Staying just outside of KL was beautiful and non-touristy. I thoroughly enjoyed the laid back atmosphere.
TP was an extremely positive experience. I learnt a lot from Matthew, and believe he helped build my confidence as a young Law student. Furthermore, you can tell Matthew cares for the development of his interns and staff. I was also given the opportunity to participate in a moot which was a definite highlight: I have a big fear of public speaking and I felt very accomplished thereafter.
