What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine legal work and digital communications—hands-on legal research, drafting, or social media/digital marketing in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a second-year Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) student at the University of Nairobi blending practical legal experience with digital marketing expertise. I have interned at Wasilwa, Makhakara & Company Advocates where I assisted in legal research, drafting pleadings and contracts, and supported client interactions.

As Social Media Manager for the University of Nairobi Faculty of Law, I grew Instagram and TikTok engagement by over 50% through targeted campaigns, reels, content calendars, and data-driven strategies. I also served as a front desk secretary at Alfaraj Cyber, strengthening my administrative, client-relations, and record-keeping skills.

I hold a Digital Marketing Certificate from HubSpot Academy (2025) and am fluent in English and Swahili with beginner Spanish. I bring strong communication, time management, and teamwork skills, and I am eager to contribute a combined legal and digital skillset to a forward-thinking organization.
