Biography
Ini is a lover of all things oral advocacy, particularly moot court. A recent graduate of the University of Toronto (UofT), Ini completed his Honours Bachelor of Science with Double Majors in Psychology & Philosophy and a Minor in the Study of Religion.
Ini’s passion for oral advocacy began with his involvement in Mock Trial’s during his 1st year of undergrad. Through the pre-law association, he would go on to represent UofT all across Canada and the United States. During his 3rd year, Ini participated in his first ever Moot at the 4th Annual Lions Cup Moot. He immediately fell in love with Mooting and has been involved ever since.
His personal philosophy? Everyone has something to bring to the table and they deserve to have the opportunity to voice their ideas and opinions. This personal conviction is the driving force behind Ini’s pursuit to make avenues of advocacy more accessible. This would eventually lead him to start “The Advocates Blueprint” podcast where he hopes to share his oral advocacy experience with anyone who will listen. His goa? To make advocacy simplified.
In his free time, Ini spends time adding to his fragrance collection, reading or hanging out with friends. To connect with Ini, please click on the button below.
