An avid advocate and changemaker, I am a rising junior at the University of Connecticut, aspiring to attend law school after I graduate. My lifelong goal is to become a family attorney dedicated to fighting for the rights of children in difficult family situations. I am passionate about supporting marginalized communities through legal services and non-profit initiatives, ensuring they have access to necessary medical and health resources. My experience interning with Congresspeople, UNICEF, and social justice organizations at UConn, along with my own life experiences, has fueled my dedication to making a difference. By advocating for children in challenging family dynamics, I aim to inspire courage and acts of kindness that positively impact and transform lives within my community.
