What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a dynamic legal team where I can contribute to legal research and drafting, support advocacy work, and learn quickly while upholding justice through innovative, practical solutions.

I’m a highly motivated law undergraduate with a proven record of academic excellence, strong legal research and case analysis abilities, and practical advocacy experience through moot court participation, internships, and student associations. I’m skilled in drafting legal documents such as memos, briefs, and contracts, and I apply critical thinking and statutory interpretation to solve legal problems effectively.

I bring leadership and service-minded energy as the Vice Country Director for the PENDO initiative (a non-profit offering career guidance) and through running a tuition center for law students. I also worked as a Secondary School Teacher from 2019 to 2021, strengthening my communication, documentation, and ability to meet deadlines—all while maintaining an excellent academic record.
