Profile:
I am a mixed-raced individual who worked in China in five years (as a journalist – writing about D&I – and before that a kindergarten teacher) prior to becoming a lawyer. I am also a non-law student who self-funded my GDL.
I trained at Baker McKenzie before moving to Kirkland as an associate. While at Baker McKenzie I was a member of the firm’s steering ethnicity steering committee.
I grew up in a single-parent household, with an ethnic minority immigrant mother. So I am very aware of how difficult it can be to feel like you belong somewhere – whether that is school, university or the workplace.
As someone who is now in a position of (relative) power – I feel that giving mentorship and opportunity is a core part of the role I now play in society.
