About
I am currently a graduating senior at Eastern Michigan University, with a concentration in Public Law and Government. I have one remaining course to complete before graduating and hopefully continuing my educational endeavors at a Michigan law school. Over the course of my undergraduate studies, I have been active in many academic/extracurricular organizations and societies on campus. Some of these include, but is not limited to, the American Mock Trial and Mediations Association, on which I have been active my entire undergraduate career; the American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Michigan University, on which I serve in the official capacity of Public Relations Officer; and the United Nations Student Alliance of Eastern Michigan University. I am also a member of Sigma Alpha Lambda and the International Dean's List Society.

Goals and interests

- Graduate school interests
It is my desire to attend the University of Michigan's Law and/or Graduate School.
- Outside the classroom
There's nothing I enjoy more than to beguile the day with a good book. I am truly an avid reader. In my spare time, I love an exciting game of chess. I frequent the theater most often (or at least when time affords me the opportunity to do so). I love ballroom dancing. I enjoy singing as it was at one time my greatest passion. I like playing logic games. One of my favorite pass-times is eating at fine dining establishments (there's nothing like great eating). I also enjoy the Opera, the Theathre, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (or any orchestra for that matter), though I rarely attend these days.
