Emma Faith

I have two and a half years of experience as a litigant and five years of experience in the legal field. I have keen understanding of insurance law, children law, human rights and humanitarian law, research, litigation, drafting and overseeing contracts implementation among other qualifications.

I am team player with great organizational skills. I work best with clear schedules and timelines and as such I am good at tracking progress to ensure timely implementation of planned activities. I have excellent communication and writing skills that have made me excel in litigation, drafting policy documents, legal opinions, pleadings and submissions.

I enjoy working with Staff as unique individuals gifted differently to bring about personal growth, professional growth and organizational growth. I enjoy brainstorming with program teams and see creativity and innovation come to play. When the team is inspired, you can be certain the job will get done.

I am flexible and eager to learn a new field to enable me expand my experience and creativity. I am fully committed to be educated, work and get the job done.
