Bio

Since the 8th grade, I have had the dream of working in the law field. Knowing that our government and justice system plays a crucial role in everyone's life and has the ability to change ones life for the better or worst intrigues me. Throughout highschool I have been able to find community service projects, clubs, and internships that have furthered my knowledge of the subject and made me much more aware of the issues around me and the issues everyone in America faces. When I get to college and law school, I hope to learn more and apply whatever I learn in multiple settings. I also hope to use the law to give back and help marginalized people especially domestic abuse survivors, immigrants, refugees, and those unfairly treated by the criminal justice system. Going to law school and college to become the first lawyer in my family has been my ultimate goal and I know through hard work and financial support I can achieve that goal to make a difference.
