Kaisha has always seen Bermuda as a small island “full of great opportunities”. The former BHS student would spend after school in the Chubb offices where her mother worked before earning a place on the Chubb Select internship. Receiving scholarships from ABIC and bursaries from Appleby and Conyers, she obtained a Bachelor of Laws at De Montfort University in Leicester, graduating with First Class Honours, before finishing the LPC at BPP University in Manchester with a Distinction. After stints at ASW, Appleby, Conyers, Third Point Reinsurance Ltd and Ren Re, she began Appleby’s two-year, trainee programme in September and now hopes to be called to the Bermuda Bar later this year.
Not afraid to ask for what she wants, she advises: “Apply to everything. Even if there’s not an application, let HR know you are interested. I put myself out there as much as I can. I don’t wait for the opportunities to come to me. In Bermuda, opportunities can be created just for you. They want you to succeed.”
