“On a typical day, I update myself on the status of cases, research relevant legal questions, and draft legal documents. I work in a team centered environment where collaboration and case strategy are also a big part of my day. The best part is going to court, selecting juries, participating in the trial process, and building relationships with clients. Internships have helped me identify the type of attorney I want to be and develop the skills to get me there.”

“Every day I wake up and fight for justice. I make sure the police, district attorneys, or judges aren’t overstepping their bounds and trampling on our constitutional freedoms.
