What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can strengthen governance and regulatory compliance while supporting executives with confidential, high-impact administration—coordinating stakeholders, drafting key documents, and helping teams run smoothly with discipline.

I’m a legally trained governance and compliance professional with cross-border experience supporting senior leadership teams, boards, and high-level executives across the insurance and corporate sectors. I bring expertise in legal research, contract support, regulatory alignment, and executive administration, with a strong focus on confidentiality and governance discipline.

Currently, I serve as a Virtual Assistant at the Africa Insurance Women Association (AIWA), providing executive administrative + governance support, coordinating multi-regional stakeholder communications, and supporting conference planning. I also draft and review contracts, agreements, and compliance documentation as a Legal Advisor Assistant, and earlier I built hands-on foundations through legal internships and freelance legal research and document support for UK clients.
