Aspiring legal professional with strong research and drafting skills.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated legal professional currently pursuing a Post Graduate Diploma at the Kenya School of Law. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in law, culminating in a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from Kisii University, where I graduated with Second Class Upper Division. My passion for law is matched by my commitment to ensuring organizational success through effective legal practices.
In my recent role as a Legal Pupil at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, I gained invaluable experience in civil litigation, election petitions, and legal compliance. I actively contributed to the development of a Legal Case Management System, enhancing operational efficiency within the Legal Directorate. My internships at Gerivia Advocates LLP and Kisumu Law Courts further honed my legal research, drafting, and communication skills, preparing me for a successful career in law.
