As a two-time Purdue University graduate and third-year law student at Northern Illinois University College of Law, I bring over a decade of focused preparation to the legal profession. My professional background includes service as a Family Case Manager with the Indiana Department of Child Services, where I gained firsthand experience advocating for vulnerable populations. I am eager to join a team of dedicated legal professionals in Fall 2025 and will be sitting for the Illinois Bar Exam in July 2025.
I am an ambitious May 2025 Juris Doctor candidate from NIU College of Law, seeking a Fall 2025 Staff Attorney position in Cook, Kane, or DeKalb counties. My path to law began at age 14 when I successfully sued Johnson & Johnson for manufacturing negligence—a defining experience that shaped my commitment to advocacy.
Rather than displaying my first dollar earned, I still proudly display my first legal settlement check—dated July 21, 2011, for $1,262.34—as a personal symbol of resolve, preparation, and belief in the power of the law.
