Bio

I am incredibly proud to be a first-generation college graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Minor in Global Public Health from UC Berkeley. I am thrilled to share that I have been accepted into UCLA School of Law, where I will pursue my master’s degree this fall! I am dedicated to using my education and lived experiences to support survivors of domestic violence, individuals in at-risk situations, ex-offenders, and those impacted by the criminal justice system. Receiving scholarship support would be an incredible blessing, helping to ease the financial burden of higher education. As someone who has navigated the realities of being from a low-income background, I understand the power of access and opportunity.
