“My journey, spanning four countries, has played a fundamental role in shaping my character. From China, the US, the UAE, and finally to the UK, I have encountered and navigated through a diverse range of experiences and uncertainties. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Laws (LLM) degree, with a specialization in commercial law at the University of Cambridge. Embracing the challenge of continual learning has been a driving force in my academic and personal life. My academic journey included Legal Studies at NYUAD and participating in the London Track, a unique program run by the Legal Studies department, that blends Bachelor of Laws classes offered in London with NYUAD's liberal arts approach.
Among my most memorable experiences at NYUAD was the participation in the prestigious Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Competition, a pivotal event that ignited my passion for commercial litigation. Our team's journey from Abu Dhabi to Vienna,, where we emerged as semi-finalists among participants from 10 countries in the Middle East and North Africa Pre-Moot, significantly sharpened my teamwork and legal writing skills. It taught me to handle pressure and multitask without compromising quality.
Home Region: China
Current: LLM, University of Cambridge

Now, I am participating in the Vis Moot competition again with the Cambridge team, and hope to reconnect with NYUAD students in Vienna. This journey brought me closer to commercial litigation and dispute resolution, paving the way for internships and vacation schemes at top law firms in the UK, aiming towards qualification as an English solicitor in litigation.”
