What are you looking forward to in 1L year?

I'm most looking forward to diving into Constitutional Law and Legal Writing this year! The opportunity to hone my legal skills alongside other talented future lawyers is so exciting. Constitutional Law feels more crucial than ever, and I'm eager to learn as much as I can to help uphold the rights of those often overlooked. Words have lasting power, so I'm also excited to learn how to write effectively within a legal framework!

Hobby/Interests?

I enjoy discovering new music and going to concerts-this summer I saw Chappell Roan and Megan Thee Stallion, which was amazing! I also enjoy chatting about pop culture, exploring museum studies, and discovering new interests.

Why W&L Law ?

I chose W&L Law because it embodies the dynamic learning environment I'm looking for, one that fosters diverse opinions and empowers me to affirm my own. I'm drawn to how W&L seamlessly blends theoretical knowledge with practical approaches. The fact that it's in my home state and surrounded by the beautiful Shenandoah Valley is just the cherry on top!
