    Interview with Rana Bokhari, Liberal Party Leader†

    An Interview with Rana Bokhari, Liberal Party Leader† R A N A B O K H A R I BPS: How did you end up in law school? RB: Well I spent most of my life as a farmer. My family had a large chicken farm in Anola, so for much of my life, my day to day was filled with gathering eggs and feeding chickens and other work in the barns. As a young girl, I wanted to be a doctor and my parents were encouraging me to do so. As I got older I realized that medicine wasn’t for me. It was too sterile, too dry, and it didn’t fit my personality at all. I admire anyone in the profession but it was not my calling. In my late teens, early twenties I went through a very creative phase, I started designing clothes. I had no formal fashion design education but I loved tearing things apart and putting them back together, it was just this quirk I had. At that point, my dad who was a business man and a wonderful supportive male role model in my life, encouraged my creativity, but felt I needed a solid educational foundation. I went back to university when I was 28 years old, and with the encouragement of my parents I made the decision I was going to go to law school. And after a degree in Psychology, a degree in Criminology, my pre-Masters in Criminology, I got into law school at Robson Hall, University of Manitoba. BPS: Did you do it because you saw a career as a lawyer or because you already had some intimation about a career in politics? RB: I went into law as a stepping stone to public service.
