Pursuing a law degree felt like the natural next step in my career. I spent much of my time in undergrad and the following year in advocacy and interpreting higher education policy. There is no better degree than a JD to become the ultimate advocate and interpreter!
Why did you choose Duke Law School?
I wanted to get the best education I could get while staying in North Carolina, and Duke Law seemed like the most natural choice on paper. Admitted Students Weekend showed me the kind of education I would be receiving here, so I committed shortly after.
Are there student groups or other activities you’d like to get involved with?
Duke Law student organizations that I would love to be involved in are the Latin American Law Students Association, First Class, First Generation Professionals, the Duke Immigrant and Refugee Project, and the North Carolina Club.
How do you plan to use your law degree after you graduate?
I intend to work for an indeterminate amount of time in the private sector in North Carolina, but ultimately, I wish to work with education law and policy at the state level.
What do you do to relax outside of work or class?
Despite being vertically challenged, I love playing volleyball! I also love going on walks, playing video games, and binging TV with my girlfriend.
