Which country do you currently live in?
India and the UK
What are you passionate about and why?
I am passionate about having a successful career in Corporate Law and becoming a female version of Harvey Spectre (from the TV show, Suits). Aside from my passion for law, I have a deep interest in dancing, journaling, acting, volunteering, writing, and learning about new cultures and languages which are portrayed throughout my university life at Brunel.
What does a typical day at work involve for you?
I currently work from home which has made it flexible for me to work from anywhere at any time. A typical day working as a Legal Associate for Internet Removals involves working in areas of Defamation Law, Consumer Law, Intellectual Property Rights Law, and Privacy Law specifically but not limited to Australia, UK, US, and Canadian Law. Typically, I remove infringing details of every spectrum and complexity from the internet.
What are your plans for the next two years?
This year, I plan on gaining legal work experience and alongside this, pursue a Postgraduate Diploma in Intellectual Property Rights Law and Consumer Law in India. Next year, I would like to pursue a Masters in Law (LLM) in Corporate / Commercial Law from a University in the UK and apply for a training contract.
Why do you enjoy volunteering for Brunel?
I have volunteered throughout my university life at Brunel. In my first and second year, I received a Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½Volunteers Silver and Gold Award respectively. I was also nominated for the Outstanding Contribution to Volunteering Award. Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½has exceptional opportunities to volunteer and provide for the community. Additionally, Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½is very supportive and recognises students for their volunteering well. For me, I received an opportunity from Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½to volunteer oversees in Bali, Indonesia to help talented disabled people.
How would you say your Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½experience has helped you to get where you are today?
Receiving an internationally recognised degree from an internationally recognised institution like Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½helps in gaining work experience. Today, I am walking out of Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½with lot more knowledge and confidence. The Professional Development Centre (PDC) at Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½helps every student substantially during their studies and for three years after graduation, and because of this, I have been able to get a job in Australia today. Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½have helped me build the skills and connections I needed for my future.
Why did you choose to study at Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½and why would you recommend Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½to others?
I choose to study at Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½as it is a campus-based university in London with students from all around the world creating a community feeling. Academically, Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½is one of the only universities in the UK to offer specialisation with your undergraduate degree in law which makes you stand out from other law graduates from other universities. The opportunities at Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½are endless with free modern language classes, societies and clubs, volunteering, internship opportunities and more. I would recommend Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½to others who want to recognise and portray your inner talent to the world.
What is your best memory of studying here?
My best memory of studying here would definitely be the One Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½World Week where Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½celebrates and recognises diverse cultures and communities annually. Being an international student being miles away from home, this is where I got a chance to represent India at the One Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½Fashion Show. The feeling of strong community and togetherness made my whole Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½experience very heart-touching. Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½made my time a home away from home.
If you could give one piece of advice to current Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½students, what would that be?
My advice to current Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½students would be to take part in as many activities as you can, it can be academic or non-academic. This will make your Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½experience more memorable and fruitful.
