As an incoming 1L at Barry University, Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law, I am passionate about getting my Juris Doctorate in order to pursue a career in victim advocacy. I want to make a difference in my community and use my legal education to help those who have been affected by violent crimes. During my undergraduate years at the University of Central Florida I crafted my curriculum to not only advance my understanding of the law, but to also gain insight on the human mind so I can best help survivors navigate sensitive legal issues. I also worked a full-time job throughout my undergraduate years, and have been working three jobs at once since graduating in order to help alleviate the upcoming financial burden of law school. My work ethic and unstoppable determination are two important skills that will lead me to succeed in law school and aid me in my mission to transform victims rights laws. I am excited to start the first chapter in obtaining my Juris Doctorate and I am even more excited to use my knowledge of the law to make our world a better place.
