August 7, 2025 —  The Master of Laws (LLM) program at Robson Hall is one of the University of Manitoba’s best-kept secrets but it’s time to let the cat out of the bag.

When last we chatted in 2018, we were delighted to learn that she was busy skydiving and working hard as an articling student at Miller Thomson. Since then, she has really flown, and we are over the moon to share her latest news.
