Choose your Leeds JLD Committee for 2026
SPORTS OFFICER:
GEORGINA WHITE

I would love to be a member of the committee and get involved in organising socials, training, educational and networking events for all junior lawyers in Leeds. Although I studied at the University of Leeds, working as a junior lawyer is a completely different environment, and I would love to help junior lawyers connect, share my own experiences and learn from those around me. I have recently moved back to the city centre, meaning I am regularly available and committed to being a part of the LJLD.

​

I am particularly interested in the Sports Officer position. I believe I would be suited to this role, as I am a regular member at Ryde, Trib3 and Willow Method. I love running and I also have some netball experience, which I hope to bring to the mixed charity netball tournament. I have already met some great people through exercise, and I believe it is a great way to positively impact your well-being while meeting new people and connecting in an informal environment. Throughout both my studies and work, exercise has always played a crucial role in my day-to-day life, allowing me to switch off and take time for myself. Since starting my training contract, I have placed even more importance on health and well-being, and I would love to actively encourage others to do the same.

​

In this role, I would use my passion for health and well-being to encourage others to come together and try something new- combining both exercise and socialising. I would be proactive in building relationships, staying organised and planning enjoyable events, including trying to introduce new sports to the organisation. I would always try my best to perform well and work hard to positively benefit the committee.
