Christelle obtained her LLB from UNISA in 2016 and began her articles at LLA Attorneys the same year, specializing in medical (clinical) negligence litigation and personal injury matters. She completed her Practical Legal Training in 2017 and was admitted as an attorney with right of appearance in the High Court in June 2018.
