Hi I'm Navjot, a recent UCLA graduate now applying to law school for Fall 2026. I have experience across public policy and social justice work, including campus organizing, advocacy, and community based initiatives. I hope to pursue a legal career rooted in public interest, community empowerment, and serving marginalized communities. My goal is to use the law to expand access, advance equity, and help build stronger, more inclusive systems. Excited to connect with professionals, mentors, and fellow Bruins!
