I am excited to continue my professional and personal growth through all the exciting opportunities in the legal industry.

I actively seek to explore as many opportunities as possible and UNSW has offered them - from memories of leading Yellow Shirts to welcome students at O-Week, to offering tech solutions to non-profits at 180 Degree Consulting.

As a penultimate student, I recall choosing my double degree in Commerce (Information Systems)/Law in hopes to pave a path towards a future-proof career. My initial interest unironically came from learning about tech buzzwords that are apparently disliked and overused in the industry. However, landing my first internship at SAP soon changed the way I thought about technology. I became immersed with the endless opportunities where I can facilitate the deployment of technology to improve businesses and change lives. More importantly, I learnt how people and their relationships with the world around them actually drive the technology of tomorrow.
