GOALS
Presently, I am working towards attending law school in the Fall of 2026. I hope to become a public defender, or a public interest lawyer generally. Additionally, I plan to eventually pursue my PhD in English with the intention of obtaining a university tenure track.
Overall, my objective in any career path is to advocate for my community members. Growing up in the Volunteer State has shown me the power of working for and with one’s community. I hope that I can integrate this principle into my career to continue amplifying the voices of the underserved.
