Rasha Altrad

A recent graduate from Simon Fraser University with a Bachelor in Criminology and a Certificate in Legal Studies. My academic journey has provided me with a solid foundation in legal research, writing, and analysis. This experience has fueled my passion for the legal field which is why now I find myself in the first year of the GELLB program at City St George’s Law University. My education, combined with hands-on experience in client-facing roles, has honed my communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills. I am adept at managing multiple priorities in high-pressure environments, ensuring attention to detail and efficiency in every task. Additionally, my bilingual proficiency in English and Arabic enhances my ability to connect with diverse clients and stakeholders.

I am a Graduate Entry LLB student at City, University of London with experience spanning legal, administrative, and client-facing roles. My background includes working in fast-paced environments where I developed strong organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Alongside my academic commitments, I have taken on leadership responsibilities, including serving as a representative for the City LawTech Society, where I help organize professional panels and foster engagement between students and industry professionals.

My experience has strengthened my commercial awareness, attention to detail, and ability to work under pressure, skills I am now seeking to apply in a legal or corporate setting.

I am currently completing a Graduate Entry LLB at City, University of London. Through my coursework, I have developed strong analytical reasoning, statutory interpretation, and case analysis skills, with a particular interest in commercial and corporate law.

Prior to law school, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Criminology with a minor in Legal Studies at Simon Fraser University in Canada. My undergraduate studies provided a strong foundation in legal theory, criminal justice systems, and policy analysis, while sharpening my research and academic writing abilities.

Together, my academic background equips me with both theoretical insight and practical legal reasoning skills relevant to professional legal practice.
