I’m a writer, a thinker, and someone who asks too many questions on purpose. I study Political Science and Pre-Law, but outside of school I’m usually either deep in a debate, outlining a story, or building something that didn’t exist before I thought of it.

I care a lot about fairness. Probably more than is socially convenient. I believe systems should work for people, not against them, and that belief shows up in everything I do, from my writing to my long-term goal of becoming a criminal attorney.

I’m also big on growth. Gym phases. Structured routines. Rebuilding after setbacks. Learning lessons the hard way and turning them into fuel. I like being productive, creating things with meaning, and surrounding myself with people who move with intention.

I love words. I love power dynamics. I love understanding why people behave the way they do. And I’m not afraid to say what I think.

What do you attribute your success to?

Everything I am building stands on the foundation my mother laid. She showed me what discipline, sacrifice, and unconditional support look like in action.

What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

“The best career advice I ever received was to never shrink myself to fit a room. If I’m qualified, I belong there.

What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Understand the resources available to you and leverage them fully. Build relationships intentionally. Opportunities often come through connections long before they appear publicly.

What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

One of the biggest challenges in the legal field right now is its resistance to evolving at the pace of society. While the world is rapidly changing socially, technologically, and culturally, many legal institutions remain rooted in outdated frameworks. This creates gaps between lived realities and the systems meant to serve them.

What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

Perseverance, discipline, integrity, accountability, and a strong work ethic are the values that guide both my professional and personal life.
