Commercial Awareness Officer for the International Law Society in my second year. I was also a member of the University Polo Club.

What was the highlight of your time at Exeter?

 The highlight was my third year in Exeter. I loved my modules and really felt like Exeter was my home.

What will you miss the most about University?

Definitely the campus! It is so beautiful.

What advice would you give to current and future students? (If you are an international student what would you like to tell future students from back home who might be thinking about applying to study in Exeter?)

 Get involved with a society or club from your first year. It will enrich your overall experience and is where you will make life long friends.

I have a training contract with Slaughter and May that I will start in 2026 after completing the SQE.
