What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my legal expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on policy development and compliance while fostering a collaborative team culture.

I am a dedicated and highly motivated legal professional with over 3 years of progressive experience in legal research, policy drafting, dispute resolution, and advisory roles in both governmental and private sectors. My expertise lies in international and administrative law, particularly in legal frameworks related to drug enforcement, organized crime, and criminal justice.

Throughout my career, I have proven my ability to navigate complex legal systems, draft policy, and uphold regulatory compliance within intergovernmental settings. My role as a Magistrate has honed my skills in adjudicating criminal and civil matters, issuing rulings, and managing courtroom proceedings. I am a team-oriented individual with strong leadership, communication, and multicultural engagement skills, committed to promoting effective legal solutions.
