I am reading for a double degree in Law and Business Administration at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (2023–2029), with a growing focus on the commercial side of legal practice — how companies raise capital, transact across borders, and are governed.
My grounding is academic and consistent: a solid average across a demanding dual degree, honours in five subjects spanning public law and finance, and an exchange year in Law at the University of Cambridge. Around that, I have built a record in competitive debate, taught in classrooms, and led communications and case management for two university legal bodies.
