I specialize in cyber law, data privacy, and digital governance, with a strong foundation in international human rights. I began my career at the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), supporting global policy efforts to advance human rights and justice. This experience sparked my interest in how emerging technologies, especially data-driven systems and AI, are reshaping the legal and ethical landscape.I’ve also worked with fintech companies, advising on compliance, privacy frameworks, and regulatory strategy across multiple African markets. This blend of policy, legal, and industry experience informs my approach to developing ethical, inclusive, and locally grounded solutions in data governance and AI regulation.I am an expert in Cyber Law and Data Privacy and have expanded my focus to include the intersection of human rights, emerging technologies, and regulatory frameworks globally. I hold an LLM in National Security and Cybersecurity Law.My current work lies at the intersection of law, technology, and social impact. I am particularly committed to supporting African-led approaches to data regulation, AI governance, and digital rights, ensuring that innovation is grounded in equity, ethics, and human rights. I believe in continuous learning and exploring how we can positively impact the current digital trend.Let’s connect if you’re building or regulating digital systems with justice, privacy, and equity at the core, in the Global digital ecosystem.
