B.J., Juris Doctor Candidate

Law Clerk

As of 2025, Kirsty is in the penultimate year of her Juris Doctor Course (post grad law) at Notre Dame University. Kirsty is a former television journalist and executive producer with more than 20 years of experience. It was while working on the 6pm bulletin for Seven News that she decided to enhance her reporting skills by studying law part time. It only took one semester for her to realise it was time to leave the media and focus on becoming a lawyer. "I spent years as a producer constantly asking our lawyers for advice on our stories. Eventually I didn't want to do what I was doing anymore, I wanted to do what they were doing. They were so inspiring and supportive and I wanted to push myself to see where the degree would take me. As part of my work in the media, I talked to a lot of people while they were experiencing some of the worst moments of their lives. Telling a person's story can be a powerful thing, but being able to actually give people real solutions and change their lives is much better.

Whilst studying law, Kirsty has been involved in a number of programs through Notre Dame University, including the Pro Bono Wills Clinic at Tuart Place in Fremantle, where her journalism and people skills were directly transferrable in assisting her in the valuable work of this Clinic.
