I have no doubt that my time at UNSW Law School set me up for success in terms of laying strong foundations for my career opportunities, publications and public speaking experiences. I owe a deep debt of gratitude to the wonderful lecturers (people like David Brown and Jill Hunter) who provided much needed guidance to a young student who had lots of passion but an abundance of knowledge gaps. Not only did my wonderful lecturers fill those gaps, but they taught me to think critically and logically, and to appreciate the importance of using the right word, in the right place, at the right time. Perhaps even more importantly, the values of UNSW Law School gave me confidence to follow a career road less travelled – a road that has always aligned to my strong sense of social justice. I loved my time at Law School, not only for its gifts of knowledge and encouragement, but for the wonderful set of friends I developed who have stayed with me for a lifetime.
