Verified
I'm a legally trained policy and communications specialist with a strong academic and analytical foundation. I hold a Master of Public Policy from the Hertie School in Berlin (including an exchange semester at Sciences Po, Paris), a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) with distinction, and a Bachelor of Social Sciences (in Politics, Philosophy, and French) from the University of Cape Town. I graduated with multiple scholarships and top honours in all 3 of my degrees. Professionally, I’ve worked across legal analysis, editorial writing, and policy research - publishing opinion pieces in reputable national newspapers, delivering expert media commentary on live TV news broadcasts, and producing internal impact communications for mission-driven organisations. I am skilled at translating complex issues into clear, impactful content for public and professional audiences. My technical skill set includes data analysis using R, data visualisation for policy contexts, and strong proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Suite. My Master's academic work has focused particularly on EU law, digital policy and governance, GovTech and data regulation.More...
