What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining legal assistance and data protection responsibilities in a collaborative organization that values compliance, clear processes, and opportunities for professional growth.

I am a results-driven Paralegal with a Diploma in Law and a Certificate in Data Protection from Strathmore University, combining hands-on litigation support with data privacy expertise. I have experience managing case files, drafting legal documents, and ensuring accurate court filings while maintaining strict confidentiality.

In my current role I oversee daily office operations, coordinate client interactions, and implement document retention and data security protocols that support regulatory compliance. I have supported both civil and criminal proceedings, conducted legal research, and applied procedural knowledge in fast-paced court environments.

I bring strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous learning to roles in legal assistance or data protection, seeking to contribute to organizational excellence through robust compliance and efficient case management.
