After earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Neuroscience in 2016, and working in my field for a few years, I set my sights on law school. I was offered admission to 10 schools across the country, and $1 Million in scholarships from coast to coast. I decided to pursue her Juris Doctorate at the University of Cincinnati College of Law.
Currently, I'm in my third year. I am the President of the Student Bar Association and a Fellow of the Nathaniel R. Jones Center for Race, Gender, and Social Justice. My current legal interests include trademarks, copyright, sports, entertainment, and blockchain technology.
I have accepted an offer at an AM200 firm as an Associate in the Intellectual Property practice group, pending my July 2023 bar exam results.
