And that's the way it is.

About Me

I am a first-year Political Science major with a double minor in Legal Studies and Criminal Justice at High Point University! During my undergraduate studies, I plan to obtain experience within the legal field, participate in study abroad opportunities (e.g., Semester at Sea), and prioritize servant leadership. With the conclusion of the Fall 2025 semester, I was recognized on the Dean's List, ending with a 4.0 GPA.

Similarly, I became a member of Greek Life (Alpha Chi Omega), Research Rookies, the Strickland L.I.F.T. Fellowship, a Presidential Fellow, the North Carolina Student Legislature, and a volunteer for the Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America organization. Similarly, I serve as a HPU Student Government Association Freshman Senator, participate in the Emerging Leader Academy, work as a University Ambassador, and hold an additional on-campus job in the Admissions Department! Following my undergraduate studies, I plan to attend a prestigious law school, developing an accomplished career founded on advocacy, justice, and determination.

Originally from New Jersey, I attended Union Catholic Regional High School for the entirety of my high school career. At UC, I was a dedicated and service-driven individual. In particular, I was a Student Ambassador (Ambassador of the Year), Emerging Leader, Peer Minister, President of the National Art Honor Society, Cheer Captain (Fall and Winter seasons), member of the Service Club, and an AP/Dual Enrollment student!

Outside of the classroom, I am dedicated to assisting others and volunteering in the High Point community. Furthermore, I have continued to strive toward the expansion of my legal knowledge by enrolling in Harvard Law's Zero-L course. I am goal-oriented, curious, and always eager for new opportunities!
