    Hello! With over a decade of experience in public relations, communications, and event planning, complemented by self-taught legal expertise in civil litigation, I am excited to bring my diverse skill set to your team. Over the past six years, I have independently represented myself in nearly seventeen cases before the High Court and the Supreme Court of Appeal in South Africa. As a self-taught litigant, I have meticulously overseen every facet of civil litigation, encompassing the drafting and compilation of thousands of pages across trial bundles, applications, full-bench appeals, pretrial certifications, and case management meetings. My adversaries often included large law firms and senior counsels with over 30 years of experience, against whom I secured notable victories—a remarkable achievement for a layperson with no formal legal training. My experience has honed my skills in drafting precise legal documents such as Notices of Motions, affidavits, Heads of Argument, and Draft Orders, as well as the careful indexing and paginating of court documents. This extensive hands-on involvement has not only developed my tenacity and mental toughness but also significantly enhanced my, emotional resilience, and verbal and written communication abilities, crucial for effective advocacy and legal argumentation. These accomplishments demonstrate why I am an ideal candidate, bringing a unique perspective and proven capabilities to your team. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to handle complex administrative tasks and manage communications effectively across different cultural backgrounds. I have experience in diary management, scheduling tasks, and coordinating across time zones, aligning perfectly with the role's requirements. I am particularly drawn to this role's that require for a detail-oriented and well-organized professional, as evidenced by my track record of meticulously managing legal documentation and court proceedings. My ability to adapt to various roles and tasks, coupled with my commitment to delivering outstanding service, make me a strong candidate. I am looking forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background, skills, and enthusiasm align with your company goals. Sincerely, Matthews V

This academic background has equipped me with the analytical skills needed to tackle complex problems and analyse information.

This experience taught me adaptability, time management and multitasking, all of which are crucial to any role that requires attention to detail and successful people management. In the past 2 years, I have taken on the role as Head of Housekeeping on Superyachts, an environment where precision, discretion and exceptional service are paramount. This experience further sharpened my abilities in luxury hospitality, team leadership and high-level operations management. I have learned to thrive under pressure, managing everything from daily logistics to high-stakes events, all while ensuring the highest standards are met. I am now eager to transition to land-based roles that challenge me and allow me to leverage my skills in organisation, planning and strategic thinking.
