Summary

I’m a Law graduate and student, I have a Higher Certificate in Legal Studies and I’m

currently in my final year of my BCom Law degree, I have experience as an executive

assistant, tutor, admin assistant, social media manager as well as a freelance writer.

I have experience drafting and reviewing contracts and NDAs. I’ve been thrown in

the deep end a few times, in all my previous positions I’ve had to take up a

leadership role and managed to run a very tight ship while doing so.
