RP how you would like to, there are several IC WHMs out there in the world. There are a few ways to bend the lore to become one, just it can be a bit tricky. Firstly, your character could've only become a white mage within the last 5 years. There's a distinct timeline cutoff there in lore if you're trying to stay lore abiding. Secondly, white mages are relatively unknown to everyone outside the Twelveswood, and more exclusively outside the Padjal. The 1600 year-dead art was kept a closely guarded secret. So most people out in the world shouldn't know what a white mage is in the first place. You can either see that as a reason against why your character shouldn't know white magic, or you can take it as a way to disguise your white mage as powerful conjury.
Alternatively, your character could just be an actual Conjurer. Apart from the lore-stickiness, very few people seem to be able to tell the difference, though White Mages have access to an entirely different magical art called Succor, which is not anything like Conjury. However, a White Mage can only control succor within their abilities of a conjurer first. Seeing as how you must have been a conjurer per lore to even be able to control succor, many people opt to go the route as Fane Conjurers who for whatever reason are taught to become White Mages by the Padjal or from a soulstone found in Amdapor.
I've set up a Compilation Post on Conjurer and White Mage Lore that has links to several lore sources on various topics pertaining to Conjury, White Magic, Hearers, Elementals, etc. Hopefully that can help answer your questions and maybe gauge how best to proceed with your character design. ^^
