Why did you choose Warwick?
I had been working in education for over six years and was looking to further my studies and my career. I chose the University of Warwick because of its excellent reputation in research and high academic standards.
What are you doing now?
I am working as a senior law lecturer at the University of Law.
What motivates you to do what you do?
I love knowing that, in some way, I am contributing to the progress of the lives I cross paths with.
How has your time at Warwick influenced what you do now?
Studying at Warwick opened up so many career opportunities for me. My research supervisor, Dr Moorosi, pushed me out of my comfort zone. Most of the progress I've made, where I am now, and the ways I teach are inspired by her.
Favourite memory?
I absolutely loved the challenging discussions we had in our small group teaching sessions and the friendships that were formed as a result.
Best thing about the Warwick community?
Staying in the loop with everything that is going on at the University.
