  • Senior, Political Science major with a Pre-Law track

I am honored to be invited to join Phi Beta Kappa and forever grateful for the opportunity to pursue higher education in fields I am passionate about. I will graduate from UWM on the Pre-Law track with a major in Political Science – Law Studies as well as minors in Spanish and JAMS. Throughout my academic career, I have had the privilege of working as a Volunteer Paralegal with a leadership role at the University Legal Clinic as well as an internship at iCivics in Coalition Engagement. Above all, I am truly thankful for everything I have learned from my professors and supervisors here. I will carry everything I have learned and experienced at UWM and apply it to all future endeavors. I hope to go to law school in the future, but until then, I plan to find work in the legal field to continue developing skills and knowledge while fulfilling my passion for legal advocacy.
