What led you to study law?

I took part in a Pathways to Law programme, which gave me a real insight into the profession and the different areas within law. I also did work experience at a local magistrates’ court, observing the different roles people played in the justice system really stuck with me, it made me curious to learn more about how the legal system works and how it affects people.

Music is a big one for me, particularly playing the piano, it gives me a creative outlet and a way to unwind. I also enjoy being active, whether that’s boxing or hiking. And of course, spending time with family and friends always helps me recharge.
