During her 1L summer, Ali worked at Women’s Initiative for Gender Justice in The Hague, an international feminist organisation working with the International Criminal Court to advocate for victims of gender-based harm.

Prior to law school, she worked for the Ministry of the Attorney General, as a court clerk and later in the office of the Crown Attorney.
