I am a results-driven Legal Project Manager and Legal Specialist with strong expertise in international commercial law, banking law, financial regulation, and corporate legal compliance, supported by advanced academic credentials and hands-on experience within government authorities and multinational organizations. I currently serve as a Legal Project Manager at the General Authority for Survey and Geospatial Information (GEOSA), where I support high-impact national and international initiatives by reviewing and negotiating complex financial contracts, international agreements, and memoranda of understanding.
