A lawyer is either a social engineer or a parasite on society.

In 2021, I graduated Magna Cum Laude, and was awarded a J.D. from Howard University School of Law. My research pushed me to think about how we organize ourselves within our community to achieve collective goals. Howard Law takes a values-based approach to legal education. In light of the continued disparate impact our current legal system displays, Howard-trained lawyers are challenged to better conditions for underprivileged citizens, using their legal knowledge to solve the problems of local communities.

During my time at Howard, I was also involved in various service projects. I participated in and then organized the HUSL Border Rights Project, providing legal and interpretive services to asylum seekers. With the HUSL Roundtable, we hosted then-presidential candidate Andrew Yang to speak to our classmates on issues facing minority communities. With the impact of COVID-19 closing campus, I organized with students and achieved reasonable policy changes to accommodate for this disparate impact the pandemic had on the student body.
