What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic legal environment that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated legal professional with a strong foundation in law and a passion for justice. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Law and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Pretoria, where I honed my skills in various legal disciplines, including Constitutional Law and Criminal Law. I am currently pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Forensic Investigations and Criminal Justice, further enhancing my expertise in the legal field.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in legal administration, research, and compliance. My roles have included Legal Administrator at Mars Healthcare and Legal Administrative Clerk at 8 Major League, where I excelled in drafting legal documents, conducting legal research, and ensuring compliance with relevant laws. My recent position as a Legal Administrative Officer at the Department of Health has allowed me to manage litigation processes and support legal teams effectively, demonstrating my ability to thrive in high-pressure environments.
