About

I am a senior majoring in Political Science with a minor in Criminal Justice and certificates in Legal Studies and Latin and Mexican American Studies. I am a pre-law student aspiring to become an attorney with a strong interest in advocacy and justice. I am actively involved in Moot Court, where I have served on the Executive Board as Secretary and Vice President. I have competed at the pre-national level and received an Oral Advocacy Award, developing strong skills in legal research. I am also a licensed cosmetologist since the age of 17 and have worked as a hairstylist at Ulta Beauty to support myself through college. Balancing my time with work, academics and leadership roles has strengthened my work ethic, time management, and professionalism. I am open to any paralegal roles or legal research roles to further develop legal skills in preparation for law school.
