Paul (top) joined YouthLaw as a volunteer in 2019 while he was working towards his law degree at the University of Auckland. After graduating, he has joined YouthLaw to be part of the legal team. He has always had a huge passion for working in the community and especially serving the youth which explains his many years of experience as a volunteer youth worker. Paul is of South Korean decent. Prior to studying Law, Paul worked in the Real Estate and Investments industry before following his passion in legal studies. As a globetrotter he has backpacked right round the globe meeting fantastic people and living in various cultures. He is also an enthusiastic movie goer, enjoys cooking and stays up late to watch the Premier and Champions Leagues.
Having loved volunteering at the Auckland Community Law Centre during his studies, Andrew is grateful to God to be starting off his legal career in community law. He also brings community experience from the Auckland City Mission, autistic childcare, and wide church involvement to the team. A book worm from the womb and interested in people, he’s excited about how words and relationships can be used to support young kiwis in difficult situations. If he’s not hanging out with people or reading, you’ll find Andrew in the great outdoors, playing basketball, or catching up with his fellow-Tottenham fan, Paul, about the weekend’s game!
