eDiscovery professional at Powered by SA leading a cross-border litigation project from collection through production.

At Powered by SA, I lead a contract management litigation project for a US-based legal team, overseeing eDiscovery from collection through production.

I work with US-based attorneys and case teams to tailor eDiscovery strategies to litigation needs, using Relativity for document review and production.

I also serve as a Level 1 Reviewer on Technology Assisted Review workflows, applying predictive coding and relevance decisions. I use working knowledge of POPIA to handle sensitive case and personal data compliantly.

Before moving into legal technology, I trained and worked as an attorney at Nongogo Guzana Inc. and Bax Kaplan Russell Inc., handling litigation, RAF matters, pleadings, and case preparation.
