Meet our 2024-25 Pupil Ambassadors

Beth Payne

Bio

Hi, I'm Beth. I'm the pupil rep on the Inn’s Education and Training Committee. I'm undertaking pupillage at QEB, a set specialising in family law - matrimonial finance, specifically, with some private children cases. Prior to pupillage, I worked at the Law Commission as a research assistant. Throughout my time working and in education, I’ve taken on several ‘ambassador’ type roles; and I’m excited to bring that expertise to being a pupil ambassador! I look forward to representing your interests throughout the year.

I am currently undertaking a Criminal Pupillage at Exchange Chambers, Liverpool. I finished my BPC LLM in 2023 with an Outstanding/Distinction after working as a Paralegal in Personal Injury for 18 months post-law degree.

Olayemi Danialu

Bio

I am a pupil barrister at 2 Dr. Johnson’s Building focusing on crime and family law. I have a professional background in healthcare as a radiographer and having worked in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, I bring a wealth of experience in teamwork, problem-solving, and effective communication to my legal career. I have a strong commitment to justice and advocacy, and I hope to promote diversity and inclusivity within the Bar. As a Pupil Ambassador, I am eager to share insights into my journey, promote the interests of fellow pupils, support aspiring barristers, and inspire others to pursue a career in law.

Serena Fernandes

Bio

I am a Pupil Barrister at Blackfriars Chambers, having commenced a Criminal Pupillage in October 2024. I applied to be a Pupil Ambassador as I want to ensure that relevant issues are being raised, addressed and actioned appropriately. During my undergraduate degree, I worked as an Outreach and Senior Student Ambassador, advocating on behalf of students, particularly those from widening participation backgrounds, to ensure they had access to essential wellbeing and support services. I believe my previous experience will allow me to effectively and fairly represent the views of Pupils and ensure that delicate matters are always dealt with sensitively.

Imogen Pitts

Bio

I joined Harcourt Chambers as a pupil in October 2024, specialising in family law. Prior to pupillage, I spent the last two years practising as a county court advocate in Dorset and travelling as much as possible. As a pupil ambassador, I am looking forward to improving my fellow pupils interactions with the Inn. I have a particular interest in building on the already strong sense of camaraderie and togetherness amongst the most junior members of the Inner Temple.
