About

I am a 2L at Wake Forest University School of Law with an intended graduation date of spring 2027. In May 2024, I graduated with Honors from the University of Michigan with a degree in Sport Management and a minor in Crime and Justice. I am hoping to build upon my background in sports with my studies of real estate, trademark, and labor & employment law.
