Description: At a young age, I’ve always been driven by a sense of purpose that allows me to find fulfillment in my achievements. I couldn’t imagine pursuing a career solely for the sake of financial comfort or status without a sense of direction. With that purpose, I planned on becoming a lawyer. As I am now an incoming 1L at Sandra Day O’Connor college of Law at Arizona State University, I plan on using the resources and knowledge gained to alleviate injustice for my community and those alike.
