My education at UNSW was a pathway to an exciting and rewarding career. During the JD program, I gained an in-depth understanding of not only common law but also its social implications. Besides the knowledge and skills that I gained from the program, the way of thinking is most invaluable which benefits my career and will continue to be my core competitiveness.
