I am currently in my first year as a J.D. Candidate at the University of Denver - Sturm College of Law. Before pursuing this education, I enlisted in the U.S. Army and became a defense paralegal for the U.S. Army's Trial Defense Service. This organization comprises the Army's "public defenders," responsible for representing Soldiers at courts-martial, administrative separation boards, and other punitive actions.Before enlisting, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in History with Departmental Honors at the University of Texas at Austin. While at UT, I published a senior thesis about Pacific War propaganda and wrote a research paper on independent Texas telephone companies. I also volunteered to run Model United Nations conferences for high school competitors. I competed on behalf of UT in collegiate-level Model United Nations conferences around the United States.
