Work history

About me

 

I am a motivated legal professional with experience in law, compliance, and insurance operations. I hold an LLB (Hons) from London South Bank University and an MSc in Law, Business, and Management from the University of Law. My background spans legal assistance, compliance, and business strategy, and I am eager to use my skills to support meaningful causes through volunteering.

I gained legal experience through placements at CMS and Allen & Overy, secured via the Aspiring Solicitors program, where I developed expertise in corporate law, compliance, and legal research. Additionally, I worked at Woodgrange Solicitors and Haringey Law Centre, assisting with conveyancing, compliance, and welfare-related matters.

At Direct Line Group, I specialize in insurance claims, compliance, and regulatory affairs. My role includes analyzing case data, implementing compliance policies, and using data insights to drive change and mitigate risk. This has strengthened my ability to navigate regulations, ensure ethical business practices, and support data-driven decision-making.

Beyond my career, I am passionate about AI ethics, privacy law, and diversity. As a Scout Leader, I mentor young people, helping them develop life skills, resilience, and teamwork. Volunteering allows me to apply my expertise while growing professionally, enhancing my communication, public speaking, and leadership skills.

 

 

What am I looking for

 

I am seeking volunteering opportunities where I can apply my legal, compliance, and insurance knowledge while continuing to learn and grow. I am especially interested in roles that allow me to support others through legal guidance, compliance awareness, and mentoring. As a Scout Leader, I enjoy helping young people develop essential life skills. Volunteering is also a chance for me to build confidence in my communication, public speaking, and influencing skills, while making a meaningful impact in the community.
