Summary

I am formerly an Engineer having obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in 1998 and then a Master’s Degree in 2000 both in Engineering. But an interest in the legal profession after 12 years of working as an Engineer in the Energy (Schlumberger Corporation) and the Telecom (Corning Cable Systems) sectors respectively led me to obtain my second Master’s Degree in Intellectual Property Law in 2018, and an International Law Certificate in 2021. I have been on a professional career break since August 2012 while doing part-time work with nonprofit organizations and raising my children. But I am looking forward to rejoining the professional workforce. I am interested in a job that combines my experience and education and also feeds my passion for writing and research. Education
