What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities where I can contribute legal claims support, case administration, mediation, and clear communication while continuing to grow through my Bachelor of Law studies.

At BK General Insurance, I advise the claims office on legal affairs, assist with mediation and negotiation for claim settlements, and draft legal opinions for the legal team.

Previously, at AEGIS TRUST, I attached cases to accused criminals' profiles, uploaded cases to the Ministry portal in Kinyarwanda and English, and cross-referenced case numbers with digital serial numbers. At the Center for Rule of Law Rwanda, I managed social media and communications materials, helping grow Twitter engagement from 50 followers to more than one thousand active followers.

I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Law at the University of Kigali and bring experience in legal support, communication, education, and digital administration.
