Tell us a little about yourself.
I'm a Dharawal Law and International Studies student at UTS going into my 3rd year. I currently also work full time for the Gujaga foundation, a Dharawal language foundation, as a language tutor going into pre and primary schools teaching Dharawal to kids.
I am very active and engaged in many hobbies, including fitness, art, music, reading and more. I have always been passionate about the legal system and how it can be used to benefit and help our most disadvantaged members of society. I want to eventually end up in humanitarian and human rights law / activism, with my end goal being working for the United Nations.
Do you have an interest in a particular kind of law or types of legal problems?
Human rights, international law, civil disputes, working with children, working with disadvantaged communities / peoples, violence against women, violence against Indigenous people.
