Commenting on winning for a second consecutive year, Ayesha said: “I’m humbled this year.  I’d like to thank my husband, children and my lecturers at the Bradford School of Law.  Without them, none of this would have been possible.”

When asked how Ayesha managed to juggle study with the commitments of bringing up a family, Ayesha replied:  “It’s down to time management, having a routine and a slot for everything.”
