This academic year she has been elected the publicity officer for the Nottingham Commercial Awareness Society.

“Law governs most aspects of life. It tells us what is right and what is wrong, as well as what we are free to do and what we are prohibited from doing. For that reason, it is important that our society is educated on the laws that they interact with and are affected by every day. It is necessary for young adults, in particular, to begin to understand the law as they may begin to contribute more to the society they live in and gain more legal rights as adults. Leducate arms young people with an understanding of the law and it is legal knowledge that ultimately enables human rights and justice to be upheld.”
