I am a third-year Scots law student at the University of Dundee and I have recently undertaken a semester abroad at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. At CUHK, I studied criminal law, private international law and information and privacy law, as well as two elective non-law modules, Hong Kong History in the Fields and Living Feminisms: Creating a Nonviolent and Collaborative Future. I have developed keen interests in various legal sectors throughout my degree so far, in particular, property law and medical law, as well as a recent interest in retail and franchising.
I plan to graduate from the University of Dundee in 2027 and return to complete my Diploma in Professional Legal Practice before undertaking a traineeship at a Scottish firm.
