About

What's your goal when working with students?

My goal is to empower students to make informed, intentional, decisions about pursuing law school and their future careers. I aim to provide individualized guidance while helping students reflect on their inherent strengths and motivations. Ultimately, I am to ensure students are not only strong applicants, but also confident, prepared, and aligned with their long-term goals.

What's an opportunity you took in college that you're glad you didn't miss?

Studying abroad in London was one of the most meaningful opportunities I took during college, and I'm grateful I didn't let it pass me by. Living and learning in a global city pushed me outside of my comfort zone, broadening my perspective, and strengthened my independence and confidence. It gave me the chance to engage with new ideas, cultures, and academic experiences in a way that wouldn't have been possible at home, and it's still a very formative part of my personal and intellectual growth.

What was a challenge you faced in college and how did you work through it?

A challenge I faced in college was learning to balance academic demands with personal and professional responsibilities. There were times when it was really overwhelming and I had to cultivate a different level of self-discipline to stay on track. I structured routines that worked for me, got help when I needed, and stayed focused on my main goal. That experience increased my resilience and gave me skills that support my success today!

What are some places you've lived or traveled to? How have those places influenced who you are or how you see the world today?

I've had the opportunity to live in London and Chicago, and travel to places like Beijing, Amsterdam, and the Dominican Republic. Experiencing different cultures, languages, and ways of life broadened by perspective and helped me become more adaptable, open-minded, and globally aware. These experiences shaped how I engage with others and deepened my appreciation for diverse paths, perspectives, and opportunities.
