As a company secretary, I excel in corporate governance, AML/KYC, ensuring strict adherence to statutory regulations and internal policies. My skills in compliance management and regulatory reporting ensure accurate maintenance of statutory books and timely submissions to authorities. I am an effective communicator, adept at liaising with shareholders and regulatory bodies, and experienced in risk management . With a solid grasp of corporate law, financial acumen, and project management abilities, I maintain the highest standards of ethics and integrity, contributing to the company's transparency and accountability.

I pursued my law studies at City University, where I achieved a 2:1 degree classification. During my time there, I gained a solid foundation in legal principles, honed my analytical and critical thinking skills, and engaged in various legal research projects and coursework.

Prior to my university education, I completed my A-Levels, obtaining grades of ABC in Sociology, History, and Psychology. These subjects provided me with a broad understanding of social structures, historical contexts, and psychological theories, all of which have been valuable in my legal studies and have contributed to my ability to approach legal issues from diverse perspectives.
