Anthony Carteri (he/him)  – I am a 1L Co-Op student at the University of Victoria, and I am excited to be a part of the Legal Services Branch this summer. I have worked primarily labour jobs to this point of my life. My last stint was working 7-years with a furniture manufacturing plant, so my body is going to thank me for switching over to law. I am looking forward to acquiring some practical legal experience and am eager to learn and gain as much knowledge as possible this summer. I am an avid sports fan, playing football, basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, and more. I grew up in Vancouver and moved to the Island in August, 2023. Victoria has been great so far and I am really enjoying my time here. pottery. He is a  banana fanatic who once at 12 in one sitting. Finally, Boran is the proud owner of two dogs.

Before attending law school, I worked as a child protection social worker with the Ministry of Children and Family Development and with Vancouver Aboriginal Child and Family Services. Before that, I worked on stage and screen as an actor/singer/musician. I'm excited to be working with all of you, and if you ever want to geek out about music, musical theatre, or anything in between, I'd love to chat more.
