About Candidate

From guiding teams at FIFA World Cups to diving underwater missions in the South African Navy, my career is as diverse as it is dynamic. Let’s explore what drives my success in operations and legal frameworks! 🚀

As an Operations Specialist and Forensic Investigator, I’ve built a varied career that spans across continents from Qatar to South Africa. My heart beats for managing complex projects where precision and strategic planning meet. At FIFA, I steered operations for World Cup training initiatives, creating seamless workflows and leading cross-functional teams under high-pressure environments.

🎓 With a background in legal and forensic projects, I weave legal insights with operational acumen to fortify frameworks and people. I thrive where operations mingle with legal integrity, ensuring all guidelines are met with exactitude.

My stint with the United Nations Sustainable Development Group polished my capability to manage and safeguard operations on an international scale. Whether it’s enhancing training programs with machine learning or drafting critical legal documents during forensic audits, I adapt and deliver.
