Juris Doctor candidate, 2026, and Society of International Law president

“I want to be able to advocate for human rights. I want to start out by helping people within my community and then slowly move broader, litigation-wise, into the international sphere. After that, I want to use the knowledge I gained from those experiences to provide more robust human rights and rule of law policies globally.”
