What I'm looking for

I am looking for Customer service job and entry level compliance job

I am fresh law graduate with a strong background in human rights. I hold a Bachelor of Laws from the University of KwaZulu Natal, where I conducted research on the institutional and legal framework responsible for food safety in South Africa. My research focused on the Listeriosis outbreak and its impact on food safety regulations.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various legal roles. As a student legal consultant at the Denis Hurley Centre, I assisted with statement taking for human rights violation cases and conducted lectures on the right to access healthcare. I also volunteered at the UKZN Campus Law Clinic, where I provided legal consultation to first-time clients and drafted legal documents.

In addition to my legal experience, I have also been actively involved in leadership roles during my university years. I served as the Branch Advisor for the Nazareth Tertiary Student Association, where I advised the executive committee on projects and mediated conflicts. I also held the positions of Secretary and Treasurer for the Nazareth Tertiary Student Association and the You Can Foundation, respectively.
