During my first year, I looked for a variety of experiences including volunteering activities, sports and societies. I attended almost all the events organised by the School of Law and law societies in order to get to know about pursuing a legal career and issues evolving around law in general. I joined QM Amnesty International Society and was elected as Vice-Treasurer for 2013-2014. I was also selected to be an assistant in the Human Rights Department of the Queen Mary Pro Bono Society.
In my second year, I was the Human Rights Department Manager. I was in charge of hosting talks with death row survivors by liaising with Amicus, organising fundraising events such as film nights and bake sales for Whitechapel Mission and Refuge, and securing international placements at the human rights organisations in the United States. Thanks to the placement opportunities offered by the Placement Department of the QMPBS, I volunteered as a receptionist at Pop Law legal clinic a number of times where I had a chance to shadow solicitors.
In my final year, I was responsible for running the QMPBS as Executive Secretary. I was lucky enough to be awarded the Language Learning Scholarship which financially enabled me to study French through the entire year. Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre for which I worked as a Student Adviser provided me with a valuable opportunity to learn how to deal with clients and work in teams by interviewing clients under the supervision of a solicitor and drafting legal advice letters for them. I was also selected as a representative of QMUL School of Law and QMPBS for the international placement with Andreas Neocleous LLC, one of the largest law firms in Cyprus. My main role involved assisting associates in the corporate and commercial department.
While studying law, I gave serious thought to the practice of it. Since the academic side is very different to the practical side, I wanted to be assured that a career in law is the right path for me. So I attended almost all the networking events available in order to talk to solicitors. I also tried to get legal experience as much as possible. In the end I realised a career in law would suit me very well.
