About Shagufta Farheen

I’m a 1L student at Boston University School of Law with a strong interest in transactional. My academic background in accounting (BComm, Haskayne School of Business – University of Calgary) and professional experience at Goldman Sachs have shaped my analytical mindset and strategic problem-solving skills.At Goldman Sachs, I contributed to the winning team in the 2023 Analyst Impact Fund, helping secure a $75K grant for Simprints—a social enterprise focused on biometric identity in underserved communities. This experience deepened my commitment to using business and legal tools for meaningful impact.I’m deeply passionate about leadership, advocacy, and community development. As a Youth Ambassador with World Vision Canada, I advocated for accessible education and child protection in developing regions - particularly through the No Child for Sale campaign. During my undergraduate years, I proudly served as both a Faculty and Senate Representative with the University of Calgary Students\' Union, where I championed student-centred policies and inclusive governance. These experiences have shaped my values and strengthened my skills in public speaking, strategic communication, and creative problem-solving.Outside of work and school, I enjoy debating, playing badminton, and performing in theatre—activities that keep me creative, grounded, and connected to my community.Let’s connect! I\'m always open to conversations about law, leadership, social impact, and new opportunities.
