Jayden summered with BLG Calgary in 2023. As an articling student, Jayden assists lawyers on a wide variety of tasks within our Business and Disputes groups.

During law school, Jayden participated in Pro Bono Students Canada, the Canadian Journal for Human Rights, the Feminist Legal Forum, and the Manitoba Law Students Association (MLSA). In the summer of 2022, she helped to establish the Rights Clinic at Robson Hall. In 3L, she was the president of the MLSA and worked part-time as a teaching assistant in the law school. She enjoyed advocacy and participated in the Jessup and Laskin Moots. She clerked at the Manitoba Provincial court.

Jayden chose to work at BLG because of the firm’s commitment to growth, excellence, and mentorship. After speaking to current and past students, Jayden was confident BLG would be the right place for her.

Jayden enjoys running, baking, reading, embroidering, and doing anything outdoors.
