Ethel Heagi

Young lawyer scoops 7 excellence awards

Ethel Heagi was among 91 trainees from the Legal Training Institute in Port Moresby who were admitted to practise law last Friday.

She started the journey 12 years ago but withdrew from her first year of studies at UPNG’s School of Law due to financial difficulties.

The 31-year-old, whose mother is from the Botai clan of Hanuabada village, and father from Guinea-Bissau in West Africa, joined Air Niugini in 2008 as an in-flight safety officer or flight attendant.
