What motivated you to study the LLB at UCL Laws?
What attracted me to study at UCL was the international aspect; I knew that I would be able to meet people from all over the world and benefit from the diversity of thought whilst learning from new and different cultural backgrounds.
Moreover, my interest in UCL came having come from Zimbabwe, to living in a society structured by the rule of law. I was interested to learn more about how such principles applied through the renowned Jurisprudence course at UCL.
In addition to this, the fact that UCL was the first university in England to let women and people of colour study there really inspired me. I am a strong believer in leading the way in change and breaking new ground and I was happy to be a part of a prestigious history.

What is your fondest memory of your time at UCL Laws?
Studying at UCL Laws was definitely an invaluable experience. My best memories are the annual Barristers' Cocktail Party where I had the chance to meet Lord Neuberger a number of times and the [UCL Law Society] Easter Ball at The Savoy.
It was also great to have lecturers such as Paul Mitchell who really brought to life Roman law with activities like a trip to the British Museum to see the objects involved in the legal proceedings that we had been learning about.
What have you gone on to do since graduating?
I currently work in Fintech for a company called FundApps. I read financial regulations and memos provided by a top law firm. Then I code those regulations into software that helps fund managers monitor and disclose their holdings to regulators in over 90 jurisdictions.
I help to raise awareness, foster the understanding of Information Technology law, and give the next generation of lawyers an understanding of IT law as a legal specialty.
