What I'm looking for

I seek a research-focused legal or compliance role that values meticulous analysis, ethical standards, mentorship, and opportunities to impact policy or course development.

I am a lawyer and compliance specialist with a decade of focused study, research and practical application across political and legal frameworks in Africa and Europe. My expertise centers on meticulous legal research, drafting, and developing clear, actionable documentation.

I have contributed as a legal counsel and consultant for online course development and delivery, managing learning tools, conducting thorough research and providing logistical and technical support for platforms like Zoom for Education, Moodle, Canva, and Articulate 360.

In practice, I have produced retainer agreements, client correspondence, memoranda and handled client intake and interviews, with substantive experience in tax, inheritance, compliance, contract and general legal research. I have also taught and supervised students as a lecturer and research associate, organizing workshops and grading assessments.

I hold advanced legal degrees with research focuses in international law and legal history and I am committed to upholding ethical standards while delivering precise, creative insights from complex research to support effective organizational outcomes.
