Lawyer & trained Virtual Assistant skilled in legal research, drafting, and admin support for law firms & businesses.
What I'm looking for
I am a Law Graduate from JKUAT and a trained Virtual Assistant with strong experience in legal support and administrative services. Currently, I work as a Graduate Trainee at a law firm, focusing on family and personal injury law, ADR , Real Estate and construction law, where I have sharpened my skills in legal research, drafting, case management, and client communication.
Previously, I worked with CREAW and Mwalimu National Sacco, gaining hands-on experience in organizational support, data management, and client service. This background allows me to combine legal expertise with administrative precision to deliver efficient and reliable support to law firms, solo practitioners, and organizations.
Beyond work, I am passionate about organization, problem-solving, and creative entrepreneurship—I also run a resin art business that nurtures my creativity and discipline. I value growth, resilience, and excellence, and I am excited to contribute my skills to teams looking for a dedicated and detail-oriented Virtual Assistant.
