(Edited excerpts)

Why did you choose to study law?

I started off in the field of mental health, by doing my bachelors in Psychology Honours. After a while I realized that I did want to help people, but I wanted to do something more impactful, meaningful and represents the interests of people at a mass level. I always have been the one to stand up for myself as well as others when faced with injustice and I want to play a part in making things better for everyone around.

What made you apply for the Campus Ambassador post at Bar & Bench?

I thought this portfolio was an excellent match for my personality and strengths. I have a love for the field of law and at the same time, I am very approachable and good at communication.

While applying for the position, I was sure that this would provide me an opportunity of gaining a lot of skills and interacting with many more like minded people, thus giving me new experiences and great learnings along the way. As a student of law, I regularly followed their feed and have always been a fan of their work. This is a great opportunity for me to work under and with Bar & Bench.

And, its Bar & Bench, who wouldn't want to be associated with their name!

What are your plans after completing law?

I am not sure which field to choose at the moment. As much as I am interested in the litigation sector, I am well aware of all the hardships that would be required to be dealt with in order to be associated with the field. I also want to earn well, and this monetary aspect drives me towards the Corporate sector. However, at the end of the day, I know that I started studying law in an attempt in an attempt to try and make a change or help people in any way possible.
