Bio

I am a future attorney. As an analytical, I value facts above all else. This personality trait has instilled in me a keen eye for detail and a strong inclination towards structured thinking, inevitably forging within me an aptitude toward the study of Law. Foreseeing a future marked by a profound impact on the legal landscape, my career trajectory is ambitiously oriented towards becoming a Criminal Defense Attorney, with a dedicated focus on Public Interest. I am not merely drawn to the law for its intellectual allure, but for its potential as a powerful instrument of justice and societal transformation. Ultimately, I hope to work for The Innocence Project—a noble organization steadfast in its mission to rectify miscarriages of justice. The prospect of contributing to the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted and actively participating in the reform of our criminal justice system fuels my passion for the law with an unwavering sense of purpose. With the support of a scholarship, I envision myself not only completing my degree but excelling in it, gaining knowledge and insights that will empower me to contribute meaningfully to the legal profession.
