What I'm looking for

I seek roles offering substantive legal research and drafting responsibilities in collaborative, mission-driven teams with opportunities for policy engagement and professional growth.

I am a highly organized legal professional with an LL.B and B.L, experienced in legal research, demand letter drafting, document filing, and providing remote administrative support to attorneys and policy leaders. I have practical experience across public-sector and nonprofit environments, supporting meetings, tracking deadlines, and maintaining internal research databases using MyCase, LexisNexis, and Microsoft Office.

I have contributed to policy briefs, memos, and legislative summaries, served as rapporteur for technical events, and provided legal counsel and community legal education for marginalised groups. Recognized for academic excellence and leadership, I bring confidentiality, dependable problem-solving, and a strong commitment to timely, accurate legal support.
