Amelia’s Story

About me

I grew up in the East End of Glasgow. I’ve had challenges throughout and never thought I would succeed.

I didn’t really know what I wanted to do and decided to go to college, where I studied NQ Business Administration. I then went on to study an HNC; however, financial circumstances meant I couldn’t continue the course.

Starting out at Safeway (now Morrisons!) and moving on to B&Q. Both of these jobs were challenging but also rewarding, and they brought out my values in life.

I worked in temporary jobs for a while and then had my daughter. I was a lone parent and was required to go out and work after she was a few weeks old. I worked at my local newsagent and thereafter managed to find work at a solicitors firm in Dennistoun. From there, I worked as the office junior, making tea and coffee, typing and dealing with clients who walked in.

Having used my skills there, I then moved to Finlayson Wise at Parkhead, where I progressed my skills to become secretary and then legal secretary.

I was then asked about paralegal work, which I was keen to do, but then things changed, and I was unable to progress at that point. I spent 11 years at Finlayson Wise. I then moved to Scullion LAW, starting out as a legal secretary, progressing to a paralegal, and becoming accredited. This was very challenging but rewarding at the same time.

Interesting facts:

I enjoy crafts such as building Lego, making diamond art, and cross-stitching. I also enjoy the Bingo!
