What I'm looking for

I seek a role in an innovation-driven law firm where I can apply legal research, contract management and virtual assistant skills, take on greater responsibility, work collaboratively, and grow professionally in a tech-forward, supportive environment.

I am a Barrister at Law and an energetic virtual assistant with experience supporting law firms and government departments in legal research, document and case management, contract review and court process preparation. I have prepared legal opinions, drafted agreements, tied court processes and managed client communications and filings.

I served with the International Criminal Justice Department during NYSC and worked as a Junior Associate drafting opinions and processes; I led a mock-trial team at law school and hold certifications in UI/UX and mediation. I am organized, tech-savvy with tools like Notion, Trello and Microsoft Office, and eager to contribute to an innovation-driven law firm or organization where I can grow into greater responsibilities.
