Michael Terry-Whitall -
Paralegal |

Michael is currently
enrolled in an Arts/Law degree at Wollongong University. His parents are
of Irish descent, and his brother-in-law is Russian and so he has an
appreciation of the immigration process on a personal level.
Prior to enrolling in his
Law degree, Michael played waterpolo at a competitive level. He
was a member of the Australian under-17s side which toured Eastern
Europe and Italy. He enjoys sports and travelling, and hopes to
see more of the world in the near future, as he is fascinated by other
cultures.
