I recently completed an internship at the AI Asia Pacific Institute. As an intern, I was tasked with the research and writing of part of a report on Trustworthy AI in the Asia Pacific region which was published in August 2021. In addition I wrote article summaries on recent and relevant topics for the organisations website. This internship opened my eyes to the legal and ethical implications of AI.

At YFS Legal in Logan, QLD I completed an internship which was known as ‘Cultural Competency’ training. Throughout the 12 week internship I assisted with legal submissions, research and client interviewing. At the completion of the internship, I submitted a research essay regarding the decriminalisation of public drunkenness in Queensland. I believe I learnt valuable lessons on the principles of cultural competency to assist me to be a more sensitive person and professional in the future.

In 2020 I undertook an internship with No Borders Migration Agency in their Brisbane HQ. No Borders paired me with Lawyer, Jay Son, whereby I assisted in client filing, reviewing evidence, drafting legal submissions to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and discussing client requests by phone and email. The internship was an insightful look into the area of Immigration Law in Australia.
