What I'm looking for

I am seeking a remote legal assistant role where I can apply legal research, writing, and case management skills within a collaborative, organized team that values mentorship and professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented, final-year LL.B. (UNISA) student combining ongoing legal studies with hands-on administrative experience to support legal teams effectively.

Currently an Administrative Assistant at CFAM Technologies, I manage documentation, filing systems, and coordinate projects while balancing part-time study, demonstrating strong time management and confidentiality.

Previously I handled administrative and regulatory duties at a family-run windows shop, building client relationships, invoicing, and liaising with local authorities, and I continue to expand my skills through HarvardX CS50 for lawyers.
