What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining legal practice and protection work in organizations committed to justice, community impact, training, and rights-based programming.

I am a dedicated legal practitioner with experience in litigation, legal research, and protection programming across community and humanitarian contexts. I combine courtroom representation with practical legal drafting for wills, trusts, estates and contracts.

Since 2019 I have conducted legal research, represented clients in arbitration and court, and reviewed legal documents while supervising paralegals. I bring attention to detail, strong communication skills and experience interpreting laws and regulations for both natural and juristic persons.

My humanitarian work includes protection field roles and program facilitation addressing gender-based violence, PSEA, and community-level legal frameworks. I have drafted local laws, coordinated trainings with social and government authorities, and supported access to legal assistance for persons of concern.

I seek to leverage my combined legal and protection background to support organizations or firms that value justice, community impact, and rights-based approaches, contributing practical legal solutions and programmatic leadership.
