About
I am a Legal Studies and Political Studies double major with a minor in Criminal Justice studies. I have completed numerous Legal Internships as well as an externship. I pride myself on my work ethic and leadership abilities. I have just completed my first semester of my senior year at Roger Williams University and am anxiously awaiting Law School acceptance Letters. During this past summer, I was accepted through a program with Oxford Bright Scholars and travelled to Shanghai, China to study foreign policy and economics. I took Mandarin classes while there as well, an no, it was not easy! But, it was the most exhilarating experience of my life and reaffirmed my desire to practice International Law.

- Outside the classroom
Volunteering for a youth organzation is a passion of mine. I grew up in the program and know how important these organizations are to so many children. As a teenager, I returned to coach and mentor in the organization. I try to give back to a program that gave so much to me as a child.
I also enjoy cooking; playing tennis and gymnastics. I played a pivitol role in establishing the gymnastics club at my University in 2014.
