About Melani-Roxanne
"I am not employed at a firm at the moment. I am currently working as an independent contractor in film, television, and stage and I have been freelancing since 2018."
Background
"I completed my matric at St. Dunstan’s College in 2014. I then proceeded to complete a Bachelor of Arts in Live Performance in 2017 at AFDA Cape Town and graduated on the Dean’s List."
Motivation for enrolling for the Conveyancing for secretaries (paralegals) course
"Freelancing in the entertainment industry can often result in irregular and undependable employment. It is not the most stable career choice unless you’re lucky enough to gain worldwide renown. After working inconsistently for numerous years I ultimately decided that a career change was necessary.
Law has always piqued my curiosity, and after speaking to a family friend who works in Estate Transfers I was pointed in the direction of Gawie le Roux. Considering my complete lack of experience in law, the friend suggested that I register for the Conveyancing for secretaries course and then engage in further training as I deem necessary."
Key takeaways
"My top takeaway from this course was just how straightforward everything was. Conveyancing is by no means easy, however, I found the course material and lectures to be incredibly accessible and approachable even with my lack of experience. I look forward to using the manuals and notes provided as I continue to further my training and I intend on using the experience I have gained to find employment."
What's next?
"I plan to register for Level 3 Estate Transfers of the Conveyancing for secretaries course, to complete the Transfers Trajectory. After this, I intend on completing the training necessary in order to pursue a career as a conveyancing attorney."
