Bio

My passion is to advocate, or be a voice, for those who need it. Cliché, I know. There are probably 100 other bios that start with the same thing. My passion stems from working within the criminal justice system and seeing the sheer amount of people struggling with the legal concepts presented. I have worked in other legal settings, and it is the same across the board. I aspire to help those who are going through the most difficult time in their lives. I started this journey in a deep hole. I did not apply myself in high school, thus I was unable to be accepted into a bachelor's program straight away. I obtained my associate degree in February of 2022, and I am now enrolled in a bachelor's program with my sights set on obtaining my Juris Doctorate next.
