BJ BONN PUSTA

Davao City

Summary

Having been a legal professional well-versed in Philippine law, academia, real estate, and policy-making for over seven years, I believe it is a great time for me to explore and go beyond the Philippine boundaries, and instead learn new laws in a different jurisdiction and contribute my skills, knowledge, and abilities within the Australian corporate environment. As a highly motivated and commercially aware professional with a proven track record of collaboration, problem-solving, and selfless teamwork in fast-paced environments, I believe an opportunity in the Australian legal industry is a great way for me to utilize my aptitude and experience to address clients' legal needs and, at the same time, fulfill my dreams of living and working in Australia.
