Why did you choose Duke Law School?

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Duke as an undergraduate student, especially because of the opportunities it created for interactions with classmates with very different backgrounds than mine. What drew me to Duke Law was that its smaller class size and section structure creates a perfect space to develop these tight-knit, diverse connections that enhance the learning environment and help me to grow into a thoughtful, open-minded, and effective lawyer. 

Additionally, I benefited tremendously from being a mentee as well a mentor in my job, and I was impressed by Duke Law’s culture of mentorship from students and faculty alike. Something I heard consistently from Duke students and admissions members as I was deciding was that the faculty members at Duke Law are easily accessible and always willing to help students throughout their time at the school and beyond. Finally, as a Duke undergraduate alumna, I have not only benefited from but have also contributed to the strong connections within the Duke alumni community. I am excited to be joining Duke Law to become a part of the Duke Law alumni community, where I can continue to learn, grow, and eventually contribute as a mentor to those who come after me.

How do you plan to use your law degree after you graduate?

With the rapid growth of AI in seemingly all aspects of society, I am increasingly interested in the impacts of AI on intellectual property. While AI opens opportunities for increased efficiency, there are growing cases of AI utilizing intellectual property without the proper permissions. I would like to get involved in protecting and litigating in matter related to AI infringement of intellectual property.
