Proven track record in law:

- I am an incoming trainee solicitor at Ashurst LLP.
- I have received vacation scheme offers from Herbert Smith Freehills, Linklaters, Ashurst, Travers Smith, and CMS.
- I have undertaken mini-pupillages at Temple Chambers, 8 New Square Chambers, Outer Temple Chambers, and Landmark Chambers.

As your postgraduate Faculty of Laws rep, I can share my tips on graduate career pathways.

Experience:

During my undergraduate degree, I chaired the Law Student Staff Liaison Committee and served as a faculty rep for two years. This means I can hit the ground running at UCL.

If I am elected:

1. I will make sure to advocate for our international students. I am fluent in English, Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese, meaning that I can represent a substantial portion of our international student community within the Law School.

2. I will let you hold me accountable, by holding monthly town halls where you can ask me anything, or bring issues of concern to my attention.

3. I will be proactive, and bring to the Faculty’s attention any issues which come up in discussions or group chats. Such issues include excessively long reading lists.

If I am elected as your Law faculty representative, I will not only advocate for you, with a special focus on our international student community, I will also share my experience in applying for graduate jobs so you can avoid the common pitfalls stopping you from making a strong application to law firms or barristers’ chambers.
