Taking part in counter-piracy operations at sea isn’t run-of-the-mill for a lawyer but it’s the kind of challenge that attracted Natacha Wisstt to joining the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) as a legal officer.
University of Canterbury (UC) Law graduate Natacha Wisstt loves the challenge of being a legal officer for the New Zealand Defence Force.
Natacha finished her Master of Laws degree in International Law and Politics from the University of Canterbury (UC) in 2019 but she knew a conventional legal career wasn’t her style.
She realised working for NZDF would allow her to combine her interests in international law and the law of armed conflict and offer plenty of excitement and new skills.
