Raised in South Africa, I am a second year LLB Law student at Lancaster University and General Secretary of its Law Society. I have an insatiable curiosity of international affairs demonstrated by my membership to MUN in Sixth-form, volunteering in international legal competitions, and having lived abroad for most of my life - putting me in a prime position to write about World News.
My ambition is to obtain a training contract and qualify as a solicitor in commercial law where I have a particular interest in litigation and dispute resolution, sparked from my mooting, mock trial and debating experience.
