What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my legal expertise and administrative skills in a dynamic environment, where I can contribute to meaningful projects and grow professionally.

I am a highly organized and proactive legal professional with a strong background in law and extensive experience in administrative support, project management, and legal research. My journey began at the University of Rwanda, where I pursued a degree in law, driven by my passion for justice and human rights. Throughout my academic career, I completed various modular courses that enhanced my skills in advocacy, mediation, and leadership, equipping me with the tools to effectively communicate and negotiate.

In my role as a Legal Associate at Health Development Initiatives, I provided comprehensive administrative support, managed legal documentation, and coordinated community outreach programs. My internships at Abayo & Co. Advocates and Colin & Colin Law Firm further honed my skills in legal research and contract management. I am committed to leveraging my expertise to contribute to a productive work environment and support organizational goals.
