Collegian (past student) Zia Van Aswegen a legal eagle, with a passion for travelling!

How did you reach your decision to study your chosen field?

• I am currently completing a double degree in Law (LLB) and Finance (BCom)
• I knew that I wanted to study law pretty early in high school. I enjoyed being part of the debating team as well as the school’s mock trial team. I was very attracted to researching and forming analytical arguments and thought I would enjoy doing it as a degree.
• I later decided to complete a degree in finance as well to diversify my skills.

What is your favourite LJBC memory?

• Being apart of all the extra-curriculars the school has to offer, such as academic competitions, tours and drama productions!

If you could give advice to current students, what would that be?

• If you can, take a gap year (or 6 months) and go travelling overseas. Either prior to commencing further studies or at some point throughout your degree.
• I was able to go travelling for a portion of my fourth year, but always wish I had done it sooner as it was an amazing experience and changes your perspective immensely!

In addition to attending LJBC, did you have a part time job or volunteered?

• Yes, I worked casually as a netball umpire and umpire coach throughout Years 11-12.

Have you won, or was a finalist, for any awards or scholarships since leaving LJBC?

• Murdoch Scholarship for the Most Outstanding Mock Trial Student (2013)

(Direct entry into Murdoch School of Law; Sponsored international mooting competition of choice)

• Finalist in International Maritime Law Arbitration Moot competition (2015)
• Finalist in Australian Law Students’ Association Client Interview Competition (2016)
• Murdoch Law School Macerata Exchange Program Scholarship (study abroad in Italy) (2017)

Do you have any special interests or hobbies?

• Travelling! I love travelling and seeing new places and getting to know different cultures! I was lucky enough to be able to incorporate some overseas travelling into my fourth and fifth years of university and have seen some amazing places.
• So far the countries I have visited includes Japan, Thailand, Bali, Italy, England, Scotland, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
• I also enjoy learning new languages, which helps me when travelling.
