Goal-driven law graduate with strong legal research and communication skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate law graduate and a Bar aspirant, currently awaiting my results. My hands-on experience in legal research, document drafting, and public-facing communications has equipped me with strong interpersonal and digital skills. I am eager to support public engagement and manage digital outreach, bringing attention to detail and organizational skills to deliver professional support in legal, advocacy, and administrative roles.
Throughout my professional journey, I have served as a Legal Assistant at the University of Ibadan, where I maintained large volumes of legal case data and collaborated on drafting legal documents. My externship at Adebayo Adelodun & Co allowed me to attend court sessions and assist senior lawyers with legal strategy, enhancing my understanding of judicial operations. Additionally, my freelance work as a content writer and virtual assistant has honed my communication and organizational skills, leading to positive client satisfaction.
