As part of two separate modules, we conducted case studies that focused on legal research, information technology skills, and an introduction to law and legal skills. For our criminal law module, we completed a moot alongside an exam. Additionally, we submitted reflective journals, assignments, and/or exams for all the other modules mentioned.

In addition to participating in various programs at Griffith College, I am currently enrolled in the Law Society of Ireland's 2024 MOOC on Environmental and Social Governance. I have a strong interest in the social and humanitarian aspects of law, which align with both my coursework at Griffith College and my involvement with the Innocence Project. I am particularly drawn to the study of miscarriages of justice, legal research, and the law of evidence—areas central to the Innocence Project’s work. I am passionate about contributing to their mission of freeing the innocent, preventing wrongful convictions, and promoting fair, compassionate, and equitable justice systems.

Upon completing my LLB (Hons), I intend to further my legal education with the Honorable Society of King's Inns, and the experience I gain through the Innocence Project will be invaluable in achieving my goals.

Until I complete my studies, I am seeking a remote position to help support the financing of my education.

In 2018, I relocated to Ireland with my family and began working remotely for a South African-based recruitment agency specializing in the healthcare industry. During my time in Ireland, I balanced professional responsibilities with family life and pursued further education. I enrolled in an LLB (Hons) program at Griffith College in 2022 and have successfully completed the first two years. Currently in my third year, I am on track to complete my degree in November 2025. I am now seeking remote opportunities with Irish or European companies to further develop my career while completing my studies.
