Spooky Savage

A motivated and disciplined Criminology graduate with practical exposure to the justice, child protection and community service sectors. I have gained hands-on experience through volunteering at Child Protection Offices and an attachment at Thika Law Courts, where I developed an understanding of court procedures, documentation, confidentiality, communication and the administration of justice. I possess strong computer, data entry, communication, customer service and security-related skills.
