In law school, being a part of the part-time program while working and raising my daughter was challenging, but I didn't just hit the books—I dove into programs and groups that shaped my journey. The Trial Advocacy Program fine-tuned my courtroom skills, teaching me the art of persuasion and navigating litigation complexities. The Civil Advocacy Clinic bridged theory and practice, revealing the human impact of legal work. Phi Alpha Delta wasn't just a fraternity; it was a hub for professional growth. Further, being a part of the Black Law Students Association went beyond law—I was able to celebrate diversity and address social justice issues. My time in the Student Bar Association added a leadership dimension, where I helped shape policies and fostered a positive campus environment. These experiences transformed me into a well-rounded legal professional, ready to bring my passion for justice, community engagement, and ethical practice to the next chapter.
