Student Mentor
Harris Academy Bermondsey
- 4 years 10 months
Education
I lead the creation of a mentoring programme at Weil which saw over 20 employees - lawyers and support staff - acting as student mentors for pre-GCSE students (Y10/11). The mentoring programme's objectives were to raise aspirations and improve attainment through bi-weekly one-to-one sessions together with work experience and/or field trips to our offices. I was a mentor in the scheme for five academic years.

Civil Rights and Social Action
As a volunteer case manager at the Bar Pro Bono Unit, I was responsible for summarising hundreds of requests for assistance, evaluating the cases on their merits, and then passing them onto a senior colleague who would source a barrister prepared to act for the client on a pro bono basis.
