What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, offers growth opportunities, and allows me to utilize my legal expertise.

I am an energetic legal professional with a strong foundation in legal research, drafting, and administrative support. My journey began with a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Benin, followed by a Master of Laws from Pennsylvania State University, where I was honored with a merit scholarship. Throughout my career, I have developed a proven ability to collaborate effectively within team environments, ensuring that legal teams operate smoothly and efficiently.

In my previous roles, I have successfully managed legal files, drafted over 100 legal documents, and coordinated compliance efforts across various organizations. My experience as a Risk and Compliance Counsel at Kkon Technologies Limited allowed me to hone my skills in maintaining legal documentation and managing deadlines, while my time at Cedarview Communication Limited emphasized my ability to execute regulatory filings and support board governance activities. I am passionate about leveraging my analytical thinking and adaptability to drive organizational success.
