Summary
Graduating in June with a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Linguistics, I bring a strong foundation in research, communication, and client interaction. My experience as a Legal Intern has given me practical skills in litigation support, documentation, and court procedures. I am committed to public service and social justice, and I’m seeking a role where I can contribute meaningfully to a legal team while continuing to learn and grow in the field.
