What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and allows me to impact regulatory compliance positively.

I am a dedicated legal professional with extensive experience in corporate and commercial law, currently serving as a Business Administration and Legal Manager at Laselle Consultants. My journey began with an L.L.B from the University of Hertfordshire, followed by an L.L.M in Corporate and Commercial Law from the University of Sheffield. I have honed my skills in legal compliance, contract management, and project oversight across various sectors, including finance, healthcare, and technology.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed global compensation policies and provided tailored legal guidance to ensure compliance with international standards. My role at Ernst and Young involved managing cross-functional projects, where I collaborated with diverse teams to mitigate legal risks and enhance operational efficiency. I am passionate about leveraging my legal expertise to drive positive change, particularly in areas related to gender-based violence through my volunteer work with Document Our History Society.
