I did my bachelor degree in Law (LL.B) at Haramay University and obtained masters degree (LL.M) in Business Law from Addis Ababa University, both public universities in Ethiopia. Currently I am studying public policy in the masters (MA) program of School of Public Policy at Central European University.

I worked in court and Ministry of Justice (Ethiopia) for the first almost two years just after obtaining my LL.B. Thereafter I joined the academia and taught undergraduate law courses in different public universities of Ethiopia, mainly at Dilla University, School of Law. Besides the teaching task, I used to actively engage in the Law School’s community service program that provides legal aid services for the needy section of the surrounding community. I was also practicing law both as a licensed legal practitioner and as a Head of Dilla University Legal Service Office. Currently I’m doing a research on the area of land tenure policy and rural livelihood.

By joining this network I would like to access up-to-date information on my area of interest and look for collaborating institutions.
