Summary

I am a dedicated MA Human Rights Law graduate from the University of Manchester with a strong academic and personal commitment to social justice, equality, and advocacy. My research has focused on racial injustice and systemic inequality, and I am passionate about using my legal knowledge and research skills to make a meaningful impact in law, policy, and community-focused work. I bring strong analytical, communication, and organisational skills developed through academic research, voluntary work with vulnerable communities, and experience in fast-paced client-facing roles.
