undergrad/major: university of toronto (erindale campus), double major in english and criminology

i was born in mississauga and raised in brampton. i did my undergrad at the university of toronto (erindale campus) with a double major in english and criminology.

the decision to pursue a law degree hit me halfway through my undergraduate journey. i realized that advocacy was something i wanted to do professionally. i got a small taste of that running the gsa lgbt organization at my university and i wanted to continue down that path.

i chose bora laskin faculty of law because i liked the focus on marginalized groups and the opportunity to explore the intersectionality between poverty, women’s issues, and aboriginal issues.

furthermore, every course incorporates real-world experience into the assignments, making us better prepared for our transition into the workforce. the smaller institution lends itself to a unique learning experience. it is quite possible to know every single person at our faculty and our community is close and tight-knit because of that. 

i encourage 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 who want a different kind of law school experience to consider studying in thunder bay. the community needs bright, young minds and you will soon grow to love the city.
