About Ivy Swibel

I’m a final-year Bachelor of Laws and Journalism student at the University of Wollongong with a strong interest in legal reasoning, regulatory frameworks and the intersection of law and public communication. I achieved a Distinction average across 2025 law subjects and I currently hold a High Distinction average in Journalism.Last year, I was named the Highly Commended recipient of the 2025 Cameron O’Brien Memorial Bursary from the St George Sutherland Regional Law Society. I was also previously awarded Best Oralist in an LLB moot, recognising my commitment to clarity, structure and persuasive reasoning.Following a legal internship with Harriss Jones Lawyers, I was offered an ongoing position at the firm, where I continue to assist with estate planning matters and client advisory work.I also currently work as a Communications Assistant at St Andrew’s Cathedral School, where I create content for digital and print platforms, supporting the School’s public communications and strategic messaging. This role has strengthened my ability to communicate complex information clearly, a skill I bring to both legal and journalistic contexts.With experience across legal research, chambers, courts, private practice, media and public-facing writing, I’m especially drawn to work that values precision, fairness and intellectual integrity.
