“Studying at UNSW Law was
life changing. I was a mature
age student and wanted to
change policies rather than be
the recipient of them. I have had
a wonderful career, including
becoming a prosecutor,
directing the North Aboriginal
Legal Service and giving back
to my community as an Elder on
Campus at Flinders University.” “I feel very privileged to have
been one of the youngest law
graduates from UNSW. I am very
grateful for all who so willingly
gave their time to support my
academic learning as well as
providing cultural support and
connection. I am proud to have
been part of UNSW.” “When I started at UNSW in
1989, the Indigenous Student
Centre was a sanctuary for me.
I made friends there and felt
comfortable in an otherwise
unfamiliar environment. I am
proud of my professional
achievements in both the
public and private sector
and now have two daughters
studying at university.” “My most enduring memory
of UNSW Law was being
instrumental in setting up the
Pre-Law Program in 1994 and
teaching the students in the
first few years. Then I moved
on to teach law full time after
I received the Lionel Murphy
Scholarship to write my LLM.”
