Summer 2023 Employment
Summer Legal Intern at the U.S. Attorney's Office - D.C. I listened to jail calls, transcribed BWC, wrote motions, and overall helped AUSA's build their cases for trial. It was a great experience and I'm happy to share and talk about my time at USAO-DC.

Why W&M Law?
I wanted to attend law school with the goal of securing a prominent position that would enable me to advocate for my community's interests. Whether within the public or private sphere, it is important for me to make sure all voices are being heard in high places. W&M was my number one choice because of the people, the area, and overall the support that I knew I would have going in.

How would others describe me?
Indecisive, humorous, dependable
