What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my legal knowledge and contribute to impactful policy analysis and legal research.

I am a dedicated law student at the University of the Witwatersrand, currently pursuing my LLB while also studying governance. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in legal frameworks and their interplay with public administration and policy. I am passionate about policy analysis and legal research, and I pride myself on my analytical and critical thinking abilities.

Throughout my studies, I have demonstrated a strong capacity for teamwork and effective communication. My experience as a Sister in Law Assistant has further honed my skills in legal drafting and writing. I am eager to apply my multidisciplinary expertise in a professional setting, contributing to meaningful legal work that makes a difference.
