What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values ethical practices and promotes community engagement in legal services.

I am an experienced Ethics and Anti-Corruption Officer currently working at Lion International Bank S.C. in Addis Ababa, where I focus on developing policies and providing training on ethics and corruption issues. My background in law and extensive teaching experience has equipped me with the skills to effectively address complex legal challenges.

Previously, I served as a Senior Lecturer at Mattu University, where I coordinated research and community service initiatives while delivering lectures on various legal subjects. My commitment to legal education and community service is evident through my establishment of the Free Legal Aid Service Center, which significantly improved access to legal assistance for underserved populations.

With a Master’s degree in Human Rights and Justice Studies, I have conducted advanced legal research and contributed to academic development. My leadership roles in university committees reflect my dedication to enhancing academic standards and fostering a culture of excellence in legal education.
