Biography

Originally from Montreal, Canada, I am thrilled to find myself in Cambridge reading for a Master's in Law (LL.M.) with the support of a Gates Scholarship. My studies focus on public international law, in particular human rights and armed conflict, as well as criminal law. I hope to develop a career in either academia, international law or criminal law. My overarching aim is to better understand how law can be used to make the welfare of humanity a practical objective. In recent years, I have worked in the War Crimes Chamber of the State Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina in Sarajevo, represented refugees and new immigrants at legal aid clinics in Kampala and Montreal, was employed by a law firm in New York, and studied on exchange in Jerusalem. In 2011-2012, I will be a Law Clerk to the Honourable Justice Morris Fish of the Supreme Court of Canada.
