About
"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." - Maya Angelou
An essential, ambitious, highly galvanized Political Science, Social Justice, African-American Studies, and Pre-Law student from University of Kansas graduating in December 2019. Auxiliary with preparation for trials, hearings, and depositions; attends client meetings; in addition submitting docket statements, conducts legal research and gathered relevant information for cases.
Passionate to become an attorney, I’m apprehensive that authority is fundamental. Currently, I am involved in numerous of student groups holding leadership position; generating a sound, funding various organizations, hosting programs to retain retention on campus for Marginalized identities. Not to mention being President of Black PreLaw Society which equips LSAT preparations, mock interviews, and support group for African Americans students considering Law School.
Stepping outside my comfort zone isn’t unusual for this Detroit Native traveling to various campuses as Political Action Delegate; creating events; organized Black Lives Matters panel discussions to ensure the continuation of the African American culture.
