About
I have successfully resumed my collegiate journey after being away from formal education for twenty years. I have made the President's List for the past three semesters and become a member of Phi Theta Kappa. Since returning to college, I have volunteered with Community Legal Services, assisting in identifying landlords who mistreat their tenants, and completed an internship with Mandall Law, where I worked under Melissa Vickers, who now serves as the Public Defender for Orange County, Florida.
