I am a driven and detail-oriented graduate with a Bachelor of Accounting Sciences in Financial Accounting from UNISA, currently pursuing a career in law with the intention of specializing in family and child protection. I will begin my LLB degree also through UNISA, and I am seeking entry-level legal experience to build practical insight alongside my academic journey.
With a strong background in analytical thinking, research, and document preparation, developed through both my accounting studies and personal legal experiences, I bring a unique combination of professionalism, empathy, and lived perspective to the legal field. I have a growing interest in family law, constitutional rights, and the impact of legal systems on vulnerable populations, especially women and children.
My goal is to contribute meaningfully in a legal support role such as a paralegal or legal assistant, where I can assist with casework, documentation, research, and client liaison. I am adaptable, thorough, and committed to upholding the principles of justice and human dignity, while gaining the experience necessary to become a skilled and impactful legal professional in South Africa.
Reason for leaving: Relocated back to family support system due to completing my final year of my degree and had fallen pregnant.
Reason for leaving: Better opportunity with regard to salary and contract agreement being full time, as well as being more inclined with my field of study.
Reason for leaving: Company closed down as a result of COVID19.
