What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values compliance and data protection, offers growth opportunities, and fosters a collaborative work environment.

I am a legally trained professional with a robust background in compliance, data protection, and regulatory advisory. My experience spans various sectors, including legal, healthcare, and customer service, where I have honed my skills in conducting legal research, drafting documentation, and managing risk. I am adept at ensuring adherence to data protection frameworks such as GDPR and the Kenya Data Protection Act, demonstrating my commitment to high standards and ethical practices.

In my recent role as a Compliance Analyst at Rotuk and Kisaka, I led compliance initiatives that ensured adherence to Kenyan and cross-border data protection laws. I conducted due diligence, advised management on risk exposure, and developed internal policy documentation. My previous experience as a Support Worker and Healthcare Assistant in Northern Ireland has equipped me with a unique perspective on the importance of data protection in healthcare settings, where I maintained strict confidentiality and supported individuals with complex needs.

With a Master’s degree in International Commercial Law and a Post Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, I am continuously seeking opportunities to leverage my legal expertise in compliance and data protection. I am fluent in English and currently learning French, which enhances my adaptability in diverse environments.
