Bio

I am a first-generation college student at Yale University, majoring in Ethics, Politics, and Economics on the prelaw track. I graduated as valedictorian of my high school and am driven by a desire to use my education as a path to long-term impact. My goal is to become a domestic lawyer who helps families navigate the legal system. Growing up in a low-income household and experiencing housing instability taught me the real-life consequences of legal and economic barriers. These experiences shaped my commitment to becoming the kind of advocate I once needed. I am incredibly grateful for any support that brings me closer to that goal.
