I chose the legal profession because I wanted to speak up for justice. To achieve my dream I have completed LLB, BPTC, and LLM. These educational qualifications have enabled me to get various job experiences. I have worked at two reputed law chambers. I have worked as a legal faculty. I have also worked as a legal consultant at an international telecom company. I have also been associated with politics.
