Why Commercial Law - Advice on my Approach?

Hi all

I asked someone for feedback on my "Why Commercial Law" answer and they said the Enactus example isn't specific enough to commercial law.

I have attached a screenshot of my answer. Do you think I would be better off describing my experience at Baker McKenzie (I'm a paralegal there.) I have avoided doing this as I didn't think it showed where my interest in commercial law originated.

I sometimes describe my interest in Enactus then say "this was confirmed in Baker McKenzie when I..." but I am writing a cover letter and have limited space. What would you advise I do?
