Saffiyah
One Front Door Intake Team Volunteer
My name is Saffiyah and I am currently studying the legal practice course to further pursue my legal career. The course has provided me with solid foundation in various aspects of the legal profession. During my studies, I had the opportunity to explore different areas of law including family law, which I chose as an elective module.
I am particularly passionate about this field as it allows me to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families who are facing challenging circumstances. Therefore I have chosen to volunteer at Staying Put as this role aligns perfectly with my studies and would inevitably offer me a valuable experience.
My dedication to the legal experience coupled with my genuine interest in the well being of individuals motivates me to continually learn and grow in order to better serve those in need. I believe this opportunity will be a worthwhile experience that will further strengthen my skills and knowledge.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and my aspirations and I look forward to explore this role further ????
Shaneeda
One Front Door Intake Team Volunteer
I am Shaneeda Sultana, recently completed my postgraduate degree in Women and Gender Studies (GEMMA), from the University of Bologna, Italy and the University of York, UK, under Erasmus Mundus Master Program.
Staying Put is an organisation which aligns with my academic background, theoretical knowledge, learnt skills, and personal interest. I reached out to them to offer my volunteer services and learn from the field experts. I expect to learn professional skills related to domestic & sexual violence, victim support and other skills related to Gender Based Violence from the field experts.
I have learnt a lot and I am looking forward to be given more opportunities to challenge my skills and expand my skills and experience.
