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.
Marin Papulkas, Class of 2027
“Choosing Western Law felt like a natural fit for me as a Western alum. But what stands out is how quickly you feel part of a community where everyone is genuinely invested in each other’s success. You realize that building meaningful connections with your peers and professors is just as important as mastering the material. Succeeding as a law student means prioritizing your mental health, and Western Law excels at that. Taking on purposeful leadership roles in extracurriculars, like the Western Women in Law Club and the Diversity Committee, as well as participating in weekly student events and outings, allows me to stay grounded and enjoy the journey while pursuing a challenging degree!” Send an email.

Sara Hasan, Class of 2027
“I’ve proudly called Western home for the past five years, with the past year at Western Law helping me discover my true passion and purpose. What I enjoy about Western Law are the breadth of opportunities it offers and the freedom students get to carve their own path. My internship with Legal Aid Ontario through the Debwewin Summer Law Program is a perfect example. It gave me a front-row seat to real-world advocacy with vulnerable clients. At Western Law, you can pursue your interests in meaningful ways that you won’t find anywhere else.” Send an email.

From my first day of school, I felt like I was part of a community where collaboration was encouraged over competition. Law school is demanding, but at Western Law, it never feels like you are going through it alone. Western also emphasizes balance, helping students prioritize academics while maintaining a vibrant social life. With countless clubs, moots, and extracurricular opportunities, there’s something for everyone to get involved outside of the classroom, making it easy to find your people and enrich your law school experience!” Send an email.
Reeya Mittal, Class of 2027

After completing my first year, I knew Western was the right choice for me. Something unique about Western Law is the close-knit community. I’ve met some amazing people through my Small Group that I know I can rely on. Everyone at the school is willing to lead a helping hand and truly wants you to succeed. Western Law Alumni are also always willing to give back and have played an important role in shaping my law school experience.” Send an email.
Michael Worona – Class of 2027
“Having already experienced the corporate world and knowing I wanted to continue pursuing it, I wasn't looking for a school that would reshape me, but one that would sharpen me. What drew me to Western specifically was its reputation for collaboration over competition. That mattered because I wanted a place where I could bring my professional background into the classroom, not leave it at the door. The tight-knit community, accessible faculty, and standout clinics made Western the clear choice.”Send an email.
Cheryl Fung, Class of 2027
“I love that Western has such a comprehensive and flexible legal education. As someone with an interdisciplinary background, I was especially drawn to the diverse curricular streams and areas of concentration available to students, making it easy for me to pivot from one area to another should my interests change. So far, I’ve experienced the academic excellence and support of our professors, and also very much enjoy the collegial environment on campus. Upper-year students have consistently been generous with mentorship and advice, and I hope to carry that forward. I am excited for what’s ahead at Western Law!” Send an email.

Western’s moots and competitions have helped me develop practical legal skills very early on in my journey. I have had the opportunity to meet incredible people from Western Law's community while learning from dedicated and supportive professors. The support and opportunities I have found at Western Law have made my law journey truly worthwhile." Send an email.
Soban Atique – Class of 2028
"I chose Western Law because of its oral advocacy program, Muslim community, and social energy. Western Law is a place where everyone belongs and can discover their own community, people, and interests. At my first Western admission event, I felt a positivity and intimacy that I found nowhere else; I instantly knew Western was for me. Since joining Western Law, I have participated in the mooting, negotiation, and mock trial competitions, and joined several clubs. These experiences validated my choice and I have never looked back!" Send an email.
Subeg Gahunia – Class of 2028
"I chose Western Law for two reasons. First, I wanted to attend a school where I genuinely enjoyed the community. If law school was going to be hard, I at least wanted to enjoy the experience. Second, based on my background, I wanted a strong corporate program. Western has delivered on both: the community shows up in every aspect, and the corporate strength is evident through its connections with top firms." Send an email.
Taylor Thiele – Class of 2028
"The welcoming community at Western Law stood out from Day One. I remember coming to Welcome Day, touring the campus and knowing that Western Law was home. The atmosphere at the law school has also contributed positively to my academic success and has brought the law to life. I am confident that Western Law is a great place to learn, grow and work toward a successful legal career!" Send an email.
Anthony Nasso – Class of 2028
