A little introduction…

I’m UK born of Jamaican heritage. A Woman. A Christian. Aspiring Lawyer. There is more but this will do for now.

Initially, I was focused on becoming a barrister. I studied Law at university and graduated nearly 5 years ago. I joined an Inn of Court, passed the Bar Course Aptitude Test (BCAT) and undertook several mini pupillages. I deferred my place on the BPTC and attended a few Inns of Court scholarships interviews. However, I was unable to secure funding for the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC). During this time, I was working is a solicitor’s firm and I came to realised that the Bar was not for me!!!

Now, I’m pursuing the solicitor route. I am taking the scenic route, therefore I believe my experience thus far may be very helpful to those at sixth form/college, university or looking for work experience.

Let me know if you have any blog posts ideas for me.
