What I'm looking for

I am looking for prosecutorial or public-service legal roles where I can apply courtroom experience, legal research, and advocacy within a collaborative, impact-driven organization.

I am a law graduate and current State Attorney Trainee at the National Prosecution Service, Ubungo District, with practical field training at the District Court of Ubungo and experience as an administrative assistant and media analyst. I have a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) from Tumaini University Dar es Salaam College and am completing postgraduate practical legal training at the Law School of Tanzania.

I bring strong interpersonal skills, solid legal research and writing demonstrated by my 2020 dissertation on human rights and local government, basic computer proficiency (MS Word, Excel), and leadership experience as an academic prefect and youth congregation leader. I am seeking to apply my litigation training and public-service commitment to prosecutorial or public interest legal roles.
