Summer 2023 Employment
I interned for the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General in the Environmental Permitting and Counseling section. I wrote memoranda on topics ranging from the National Environmental Policy Act, landlord/tenant rights, plea bargains, and coastal zoning regulations. I also conducted a lot of document review and document organization for the Deputy Attorneys General. Lastly, we went on a field trip to the Jersey Shore to learn about the issue of native turtle and snake poaching in New Jersey.

Why W&M Law?
I majored in Environmental Science as an undergraduate at William & Mary, and I saw the law as one of the most effective ways to enact change and solve environmental issues. I loved undergraduate so much that I decided to stay in Williamsburg for three more years! I chose William & Mary Law for the welcoming community, the close relationships between professors and students, and the strong connection to D.C.

How would others describe me?
