Summary

I am a courtroom manager with strong organisational and communication skills. I am diligent in precise record-keeping and at all times ensure the smooth running of the court. I am pivotal and effective in liaising between judges, counsel, and other court users and in doing so have formed qualitative relationships at all levels. I have an ability to work in highly stressful situations and I am not easily intimidated. At times I have to speak truth to power. I am a team player in that I offer support and strive to assist others in the performance of their tasks and duties, in and out of the courtroom, to enable a greater collective good.
