She hopes to become a human rights lawyer, specifically supporting historically excluded and marginalized communities in holding the state accountable for the systemic inequity and injustice it perpetuates and upholds. When Nimrit is not in school or working, you can find her volunteering at the Women's Centre at SFU, playing and coaching field hockey, gardening, and taking care of her rescue birds.
