As a first-generation undergraduate and Attorney, I chose law to bridge the gaps between people and the systems that shape their lives, between questions and clarity, and between communities historically shut out of legal spaces and the profession itself. I believe in advocacy that is both strategic and human, rooted in uncompromising integrity. My work is driven by a commitment to show that the law can be accessible and fair.
