Ambassadors
Ask an Ambassador!
Each year the Admissions and Recruitment Office selects students to serve as Western Law ambassadors. Ambassadors assist with events such as Orientation, our annual Welcome Day, recruiting receptions, and the phone campaign. They also give tours of the Faculty of Law and provide general information about their student experience. Below we feature some of our current ambassadors. They would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about Western Law. Feel free to email them directly at the email addresses provided.
Kassandra Kurek, Class of 2025
“I was initially drawn to Western Law by all the extracurricular and clinical opportunities offered. After I attended the Open House and witnessed how genuinely happy the student ambassadors, staff and faculty were at Western, I realized I had made the right choice. I was able to meet lifelong friends in my Small Group, connect with wonderful alumni and upper year mentors, and become involved with Community Legal Services, Pro Bono Students Canada and the Labour and Employment Law Society. I am very glad I chose Western and I’m happy to chat with prospective students about the school.” Send an email.
Dylan Romero-Marshall, Class of 2025
"What initially drew me to Western was the diverse and unique extracurricular activities combined with a demonstrated commitment to providing a top-tier legal education. As a 1L I had some amazing experiences mooting, working as a caseworker for the Sports Solution Clinic (SSC), and serving on the Community Workshops project. One thing that I love about Western’s extracurricular options is the chance to do meaningful work and upgrade my skills. Now, as a Program Manager for thr SSC, I continue to advocate on behalf of Canadian athletes. The community that is fostered at Western Law makes it feel like a second home." Send an email.
Maddie Hill, Class of 2025
“From the moment I was admitted, Western Law made me feel like I’m more than a number. Western Law introduced me to many bright individuals who are all impressive in unique ways. I’ve done a lot of learning from my peers both inside and outside of the classroom. The law school is very social with a tight-knit feel. It’s truly its own community that everyone wants to be a part of and give back to. After studying at Western for the past five years, it is possible that I bleed purple… but I wouldn’t have it any other way!” Send an email.
Daivik Shelat, Class of 2026
"I would offer two pieces of advice for aspiring law students. First, select an undergraduate program you are genuinely passionate about and can excel in because, unlike some other second-entry professional programs, law schools typically do not require specific degrees or courses. Explore diverse electives during undergrad. A music elective I took remains one of my favorite undergraduate courses. Second, begin networking and fostering relationships within the profession early on. Connect with law students and practising lawyers to learn more about law school and the legal profession to determine if the legal profession is right for you. Law students and lawyers are always willing to speak with aspiring law students." Send an email.
Mackenzie LeClaire, Class of 2026
"I chose to attend Western Law because feeling a sense of belonging is important to me. I remember coming to Western’s Fall Open House as a prospective law student and I immediately felt at home. The law building is quiet and full of comfortable places to study. The faculty and upper-year students truly go the extra mile to support first-year students. Western Law provides a very social environment and there are dozens of associations and clubs to join. I’m involved in the Family Law Students Association and Western Women in Law. The Small Group program has also allowed me to form meaningful connections, making the transition to law school so much smoother." Send an email.
Liv Hart, Class of 2026
“One of the things I love most about Western Law is its commitment to creating a supportive, collegial environment that students and faculty embrace. When attending the spring open house, it was clear to me Western Law was truly a community. During my time at Western Law, I’ve gained confidence in my academics through the encouragement and support of professors, developed lasting relationships in my Small Group and met multiple upper-year and alumni mentors through extracurricular activities. The environment at Western Law has allowed me to grow both academically and personally for which I am immensely grateful.” Send an email.
Natalie Emidio, Class of 2026
"I was initially drawn to Western Law because of its commitment to providing students with a premier legal education as well as its tight-knit, social culture. I was a commuter during undergrad so having a supportive environment and the opportunity to make close friends was important to me. When I joined Western Law, I knew that I made the right decision. I made lifelong friends in my first-year Small Group, and I worked as a caseworker for the Western Business Law Clinic. These experiences made my first year at Western Law one I will always cherish."
