Backstory
As a high school student, Rosalie travelled to Queenstown, South Africa, and taught literacy and leadership programs at a local junior school. The school’s mission was to provide accessible education, in English, to students from local rural townships. Rosalie spoke to students who travelled for hours by foot each day, as this was the school closest to their home. Rosalie realized the importance of accessibility in education and services. This experience drove her to become a lawyer and ensure access to justice for all clients.
An interesting tidbit
Rosalie enjoys cooking and baking. She often makes her dishes from scratch, relying on her tastebuds rather than recipes. Her favourite dessert to bake is double chocolate fudge cake.
