What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to apply my legal knowledge in innovative ways, particularly in AI, while contributing to meaningful projects that enhance legal education.

I am a law graduate with a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) from the University of Kwazulu Natal, where I excelled academically, ranking in the top 10% of my class. My education has equipped me with a robust foundation in constitutional law, legal theory, and international law. I have honed my skills in legal research and writing, statutory interpretation, and case synthesis, which I believe are essential for effective legal practice.

Throughout my academic journey, I have actively engaged in various legal activities, including serving as an editor for the UKZN Law Review and participating in the AI & Law Working Group. My passion lies in leveraging my legal expertise to contribute to AI training, aiming to enhance legal education and critical thinking on a global scale. I am particularly interested in the intersection of law and technology, exploring how AI can support legal scholarship and reasoning.
