About

I am a Criminal Justice student at Oakland University and a legal professional with several years of experience in personal injury law. As a first-generation college student aspiring to become an attorney, I am passionate about advocating for others and increasing access to legal knowledge within my community. My experience working at a law firm has provided me with valuable skills in client communication, case management, discovery preparation, and insurance claims, while reinforcing my commitment to pursuing a legal career. I am dedicated to continuing my education, attending law school, and using the law as a tool to serve, educate, and empower those who may not have a voice of their own.
