    University of New South Wales

    Finalists In: Ashurst Law Award

    I have always seen university as a great place to push myself out of my comfort zone and meet new people along the way. This has led me to lead UNSW’s largest society, participate in law and business-related competitions and continually support our communities through volunteering engagements. Beyond the core leadership and analytical skills these personal opportunities have allowed me to develop, my experience as a clerk at a multinational law firm has enabled me to grow professionally. I am excited to continue my professional and personal growth through all the exciting opportunities in the legal industry.

    I am a second year Information Systems student at UNSW. Always having had a thirst to learn, I enjoy taking on new opportunities and challenges to broaden my repertoire. Despite the pandemic turning our lives upside down, this year, I undertook an internship, participated in case competitions, and mentored first year university students. Funnily, even as an information systems student, I’ve also become a lot more technology savvy. After all, although acclimatising is always undoubtedly difficult, I firmly believe it will make us stronger.

    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.

    Having been the inaugural founder of two clubs at school and a leader of debating, I have long been passionate about fostering active communities and engagement. This passion extended to university, where I dived into many student societies, where I was fortunate enough to be promoted to a project leader, engage in student mentorship, help with ongoing tutoring, and participate in leadership podcasts. I have taken away two key lessons that have been incredibly formative: that respect and mentorship are invaluable; and that failing and learning from mistakes is crucial to ensuring sustained personal and communal development for the future.
