Summary

After my LLB studies my first legal job was in legal insurance. Thereafter I have been in legal insurance from prominent companies. I've developed excellent communication and problem-solving skills, soft skills and dealing with clients. I then resigned to persue my carreer and then register for articleship. I have done my articles for six months due to the law firm having financial reasons.

Due to my years of experience in legal insurance am currently a commercial legal advisor. Further with respect to my career, am busy with my application as an advocate and admission will be advised soon.


My future plan in terms of my carreer is to be litigation as a change of my career and I'm excited to bring skills acquired to a new role in a different environment.


Personally, am a 34 year old female, reside in Gauteng. Am a positive individual with a bubbly and strong personality. Am always willing to take up a challenge and am multilingual. Am empathetic person with an strong emotion intelligence. I take nothing for granted and believes everything happens for a reason.
