Resident Profile: Laure Law-Lin

Interview by Amy Papasergio

My name is Laure Law-Lin and I’m currently in my third year at UWA, studying Law and Society. I enjoy learning about international issues, particularly those related to criminal and environmental law. I’m graduating at the end of the year.

I am from Reunion Island, which is part of France, and I’m hoping to return there for my postgraduate studies. I love everything about my home, seeing as it’s a very multicultural place. I am also the first person from Reunion Island to stay at St Cat’s.

I live on the top floor of Casa. There is a lot of space and it has a nice breakout area, which creates a nice place to chill out with my friends. There is even a cool Google slide, which I am planning to try out later this year, right before I leave.

I was surprised by a lot of things about the College. I used to stay at Uni Hall before I came here, and when I relocated I found that St Cat’s was much more focused on community spirit, which I love.

At College I work alongside Bec Cotton, as a Community Representative, helping with community projects throughout the year. Right now, I run the honey bee project where we are creating a bee-friendly botanical garden on the College rooftop, in order to produce a thriving bee colony.

My favourite part about St Cat’s is that I get the chance to create a real long-lasting project. I’m so happy to have got this opportunity. The garden will impact St Cats in a great way and I can’t wait until the end of the year when I will be able to look at the rooftop garden and witness the incredible results that dedication towards a worthy cause can yield.
