I am incredibly proud of what I have achieved as a woman raised by a single parent on a council estate. From those beginnings, I have become a lawyer who enables my clients to meet their strategic objectives within the complex frameworks of regulation and the law. I genuinely love my job; navigating the intersection of innovation and consumer protection gives me a profound sense of purpose.
I have been an in-house lawyer for nearly 10 years, a decade defined by the privilege of working for several distinguished global companies across various sectors from financial services to utilities and retail alongside truly excellent people. However, my journey to this point was defined by resilience. My route to qualification was not smooth; I spent nine years striving to qualify while working in several paralegal roles. Throughout this time, I was navigating the corporate world with dyslexia, which was only diagnosed in my adulthood. This experience made me want to succeed and prove that with determination, anything is possible.
While I initially began my career as a general commercial lawyer, I eventually found my niche in Data Protection and Responsible AI. My practice is dedicated to ensuring that clients use data and AI responsibly, keeping in mind that there are humans behind the data.
Being called to the Bar in Ghana in 2022 was a deeply personal achievement. It is both a privilege and humbling to qualify in the motherland which renewed my love for the law.
