Victoria (she/her)

Hello, I am Vic! I am a final year Juris Doctor student at the University of Technology, Sydney.

My connection with The Pinnacle Foundation began through my involvement with the Pride Committee at my previous law firm. During this time I had the pleasure of hearing from a Pinnacle Foundation alumni. Listening to her story about how The Pinnacle Foundation supported her throughout university and beyond resonated with me. The sense of community, family, and support she described motivated me to apply as her experiences felt incredibly relatable and inspiring. I aspire to become a commercial lawyer after law school.

I am really looking forward to my upcoming summer clerkship at a commercial law firm. I was drawn to commercial law because it challenges me intellectually and will allow me to tackle complex and impactful issues. I have also really loved all my commercial law subjects at university.

Giving back is also super important to me and I plan to take part in pro bono work throughout my career and make meaningful impacts to the community.

A heartfelt and sincere thank you to The Michael Gorman Scholarship and The Pinnacle Foundation for supporting my academic journey. I am so grateful. This scholarship opens up a world of opportunity to me and introduces me to a new family, one that I am overjoyed to be a part of.
