I’m very excited to share my graduation from Cambridge University! I received a strong Upper Second-Class Honours in Law, with a first in the Land Law module, and high 2:1s in Employment and Contract. Perhaps the biggest achievement these past three years however has been in extracurriculars and personal growth. Leading retreats and summits, project managing national freshers’ projects, founding and leading the Islamic theology society, debating, public speaking, life coaching and football are just some activities I’ve had the pleasure of being involved in. Above all however are the daily habits I have accumulated. I use psychology to live not only a happier life, but to explode the growth trajectory of crucial skills like communication, problem solving, and resilience through daily activities and exercises. If anyone would like to know how, please do reach out! Looking forward, my career aspiration shift from administrative human rights law to commercial law poses some challenges, but as an optimist I believe a vast deal more opportunities. If anyone would like to know my reasoning for the switch, or can connect me to people or events to gain experience and build my network, please do reach out! These are my top priorities for the coming months. As always I’m indebted to the vast number of people who supported me on this journey, especially my mentors and parents, without whom I would not be the person I am today.
