## About

```text
At AEGIS Law PRUC, I manage legal work across corporate and individual client matters, supporting commercial litigation, contractual advice and dispute resolution. I’ve drafted and reviewed commercial contracts and prepared pleadings, affidavits, motions and written submissions.

At the Legal Aid Commission, I’ve handled cases under supervision and supported ongoing matters involving family law, land and property disputes, probate, estates and employment claims. I’ve prepared court documents and participated in trials and hearings before the District, Circuit and High Courts.

I’ve also supported mediation by preparing notices, issues for determination, settlement agreements and consent judgments. My work includes legal research, case-file coordination, hearing schedules and filing deadlines.

At Agricultural Development Bank’s Legal Department, I contributed to contract drafting and review, legal research and memoranda in a regulated banking environment. I founded and coordinate Women in Fintech Ghana, a non-profit platform promoting women’s participation in finance, technology and regulatory spaces.
