Cambridge is a town that is bustling with academics, scholars, artists and thinkers. I immediately fell in love with the city, and although I have travelled and lived all over the world, I have never felt more at home than in Cambridge.

It was such a privilege to be taught by some of the world’s leading experts in law and I found the tutorial system to be incredibly helpful. Along with my studies I got involved with lots of other activities – attending workshops, participating in debates and attending numerous networking events and seminars.

Being part of a College gave me a sense of belonging and my fellow students at St Edmund’s soon felt like family. Meeting individuals pursing a range of diverse disciplines in the Junior Common Room (JCR) was both intellectually stimulating and emotionally fulfilling.

My fellow LLM classmates came from many different backgrounds but we were united by our passion for chasing excellence. It was a privilege to be studying together and learning from each other. I firmly believe that when people of various nationalities, languages, races and cultures come together to work in harmony, unique perspectives can be reached and innovative ideas developed.

At Cambridge, I specialised in commercial law, but I also took an interdisciplinary module in law and economics, taught jointly by the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Management. I had long been fascinated by the interplay of law, politics and the changing technological landscape. In particular the global financial crash of 2008 sparked in me a passion to work in a profession that could help steer economies towards sustainable growth.
