About   (request update)
I am a student at Spelman College majoring in Political Science with a minor in Spanish on the pre-law track. As an aspiring attorney and future policymaker, I am passionate about using my voice, leadership, and research skills to drive meaningful change.

In my role as President of Spelman Speech and Debate, I have strengthened my ability to think critically, communicate persuasively, and organize teams effectively. I also serve as an executive board member of the Spelman Honors Program Student Association, where I plan events that foster a strong academic community and reflect my goals as a lifelong learner. Most recently, I served as a judicial intern, where I conducted research on immigration law and deepened my understanding of the intersection between law and policy.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
I am eager to explore how legal processes shape public policy and also the operations of companies across industries. My long-term goal is to pursue a career in law that leads to policymaking, where I can be make meaningful change at the national level. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect!
