About

In December of 2015, I completed my B.S. in Psychology with a double minor in Business Management and Philosophy. I have always been passionate about using my education and my personal talents to help others. Since finishing my undergrad degree, I have worked in a few different positions that fall under the field of social work. After completing my law degree, I plan to go in to public interest law and to be able to continue helping children and families.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to go in to public interest law. One specific career path that I am interested in would be working with an organization such as Kids First Law in Cedar Rapids and representing children in custody cases. I've had a little bit of experience with the lega process in defending criminal cases as well as dealing with immigration law.
