Law graduate focused on access to justice and community impact.
TanzaniaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Bachelor of Laws candidate with hands-on experience in access to justice projects, legal aid provision, and community outreach. I have supported multi-stakeholder workshops, developed training materials, and provided interpretation and translation in English and Swahili.
My volunteer and internship roles with GIZ and university initiatives strengthened my skills in coordinating trainings, research programs, and awareness-raising on gender-based violence, while fostering teamwork and communication. I have experience organizing outreach, preparing reports, and teaching vulnerable children in community programs.
I bring integrity, confidentiality, computer application proficiency, and strong leadership to roles that advance rule of law, gender equity, and legal access. I seek opportunities where I can apply my legal training and community engagement experience to drive measurable social impact.
