What led me to this career: There are three reasons that led me to this career. The first being that I found myself enjoying the process of solving everyday problems through the law. The second is that I have always admired the way in which lawyers present themselves in corporate and outside life. The third reason is that there has never been a lawyer in my family, so being the first holds significance for me.

In my downtime I like to

Enjoy physical activity- from gymming, to running, to playing basketball. I also love watching movies, documentaries as well as series.

My favourite sport is

Basketball but find watching rugby more entertaining.

Favourite game

30 Seconds

Coffee or Ice cream?

Definitely coffee.

Name one thing on your bucket list?

I would love to visit Japan.

If you could choose any person from history to be your friend, who would it be and why?

Tupac Shakur – I would choose Tupac to be my friend, as an artist who has significantly influenced my favourite genre of music (rap and R&B). I think his storytelling ability was remarkable in the sense that it allows listeners today to understand what he and many marginalised groups (in America) were going through.
