What I'm looking for

I’m looking to serve as a Judicial Officer, upholding the Constitution and delivering impartial, efficient, accessible justice. I want a role where integrity, professional independence, strong case management, and high-quality research directly improve outcomes for the public.

I am a dedicated Advocate of the High Court of Kenya with over ten years’ cumulative legal experience and a deep commitment to the rule of law. I hold an LLB from Kabarak University and I have been an active member of the Law Society of Kenya since 2022, grounded in strong ethical decision-making and professional independence.

My practice has been shaped by courtroom advocacy, detailed legal research, and high-quality legal opinion writing across criminal, civil, succession, employment, evidence, land, traffic matters, and alternative justice systems. In my current role as Senior Associate Advocate at C.O. Wasonga and Company Advocates, I provide pro bono legal services, lead litigation, manage case calendars, mentor junior staff, and draft pleadings, submissions, reports, and comprehensive legal documents.

I also bring experience from roles as an Associate Advocate (Osanjo and Company Advocates), where I coordinated case strategy and enhanced litigation outcomes through research and collaboration, and as a Legal Officer (Spark Shield Fire System), where I ensured statutory and regulatory compliance through audits, trainings, and contract negotiations. With my judicial attachment support to judges and magistrates, I continue to focus on impartial, efficient, and accessible justice—consistently upholding the Constitution with integrity and composure under pressure.
