What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and professional growth in IP and education.

I am an intellectual property (IP) expert and multimedia professional with a strong commitment to achieving excellence in my work. Currently, I serve as a trainer at Limkokwing University of Creative Technology in Gaborone, Botswana, where I leverage my extensive knowledge in IP to educate and inspire students. My experience spans various roles, including Copyright Arbitration Panellist, where I develop policies and adjudicate copyright disputes, ensuring adherence to legal standards.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a passion for teaching and research, having held positions that require effective program management and innovative teaching methods. My role as AfCFTA Coordinator with Youth Alliance for Leadership Development in Africa has further honed my skills in social media management and content creation, allowing me to engage with youth across multiple countries. I am dedicated to fostering collaboration and driving impactful initiatives in the field of intellectual property and education.
