About
I am a student at Boise State University pursuing degrees in Public Service Leadership and Spanish, with a minor in Legal Studies and a certificate in Conflict Management. I expect to graduate in May 2027.
Since July 2023, I have worked at Tri-County Process Serving in Boise, Idaho, where I have gained hands-on experience with legal documents, service of process, affidavits, case management, and communication with attorneys, clients, and process servers. My experience has strengthened my attention to detail, organizational skills, problem-solving abilities, and understanding of legal procedures.
I have a strong interest in the legal field, particularly immigration law, advocacy, and public service. Studying Spanish has also strengthened my interest in cross-cultural communication and helping individuals navigate complex systems.
Outside of academics and work, I enjoy volunteering, exploring the outdoors, traveling, reading, writing, and creative activities. I value continuous learning, meaningful service, and opportunities to make a positive difference in my community.
As I approach graduation, I look forward to expanding my experience in the legal profession and exploring the possibility of attending law school.
