Gabriela is a history enthusiast with a passionate ambition to become a corporate solicitor.

Gabriela’s dedication to her community extends beyond her official role; she also runs an influential blog that provides invaluable guidance and practical advice on navigating the complexities of university life. This blog is particularly geared mainly towards second-generation immigrants, who often face unique challenges and may not have the same access to opportunities as those with parents who were born and raised in the UK.

Through her posts, Gabriela has successfully fostered a small but vital community, offering support, encouragement, and tips for academic and personal success. She has become a beacon of assistance, helping to bridge the gap for students who might otherwise feel marginalised or overlooked. Her platform has brought numerous opportunities to these students and has brought forward multitudes of connections from internships to networking events.

Through these experiences and numerous  others such as opportunities to work virtually with magic circle firms, Gabriela has developed a profound appreciation for advocacy and justice. Witnessing firsthand the transformative power of providing a voice to the underrepresented and the impact of equitable opportunities, she realised the importance of a legal career in championing these values on a larger scale. This drive to advocate for others, coupled with her strong analytical skills honed through her history studies, solidified her ambition to become a corporate solicitor. Gabriela aims to use her legal expertise to influence corporate practices, ensuring they are inclusive and fair, ultimately contributing to a more just and equitable society.
