I have 3 law degrees from various jurisdictions: I first obtained an LL.B in European, International and Comparative Law from the University of Sheffield in England. Thereafter, upon completing a dual degree program, I obtained a J.D. in Law from the University of Windsor in Canada, and a J.D. in Law from the University of Detroit Mercy in the United States of America. My diverse experiences in all of these countries -and all of the people I have met along the way- have truly enriched my life, and have afforded me an outlook that has benefited me both personally and professionally.I now work proudly with the wonderful people at DKI Canada, who inspire me to be the best person and professional that I can be.
