The Blackstone Society

Happy to announce that I will be representing the The Blackstone Society in my position as a Social Representative! Cannot wait for the year ahead with the social team under Ben Waterman😊

Looking forward to the year ahead with The Blackstone Society and my role as Social Vice-President😊📚🕺🏼 My amazing social team and I are tasked with creating events across 2025 for UWA law students and to ensure everybody has a chance to create friendships and memories that will last well beyond our JD years🥳💃🏽 I’m also lucky enough to be apart of an amazing executive team who also have their portfolios to run. We all work together to achieve our one main goal—to look after the JD students🤩✅ Excited to see what’s install for the rest of the year!😊🎉

Because I wasn't busy enough with completing my JD studies and my Social Work career, I decided to take on another role.. I'm excited to share that for 2025 I am the Equity Vice-President for the The Blackstone Society. In 2024 I was the Women's Representative and thoroughly enjoyed my time putting together events that sparked inclusion and conversation. However, I knew I wanted to do more within Blackstone. To be the Equity Vice-President means more to me than just the title. As a Social Worker the role feels very aligned to my values and practice. I am excited to introduce some new initiatives in 2025 that are close to home and to have an amazing team beside me. I hope to see you all at the events being organised by the Equity Portfolio in 2025!!

I am so excited to be part of the The Blackstone Society Wellness Team, as Wellness Representative for 2025! I can’t wait to see what this year brings with Gabby Miocevich Matthew Cowan Jacinta Kingsbury Tenayh Powell Nikita La Rosa. It is going to be an amazing year and I’m sending positivity all around.

On December 1st I will officially conclude my tenure as President of The Blackstone Society for 2024. It gives me great pride to announce that Callum Lindsay will take over the reigns as the Society’s 97th President. I have absolutely loved my time as President. I am so proud to have contributed to the UWA Law School community, and I have a deep appreciation for the strong relationships I have created over my three years on the committee. I am also incredibly proud of the Society’s achievements this year, to name a few: - advocating for the successful implementation of lecture transcripts in all law units in semester 2; - ensuring a dedicated silent study space for all JD and legal masters students; - expansion of our corporate sponsorship; and - expansion of alternative legal pathways events, including the introduction of the ‘Associateship Panel Evening’. Thank you to all the Society’s sponsors. Your generous support has enabled us to achieve significant outcomes for UWA law students. I also want to thank UWA Law School, in particular Sharon Mascher and Fiona McGaughey, for their guidance and commitment to the Society and law students. To my 2024 team - thank you all for your hard work and commitment. And thank you to my amazing executive, I am so proud of you all! In addition, I would like to thank the immediate past President Claudia Monterosso for your year-round support. The 2023 committee set a high bar for us to follow. To Callum and the incoming 2025 executive, I cannot wait to see the amazing work you will do next year. Best of luck!
