Registered to sit for the upcoming July 2023 Florida Bar Exam. I've relished the opportunity to experience different areas of law as I attempt to find my place in the legal industry. I've gained valuable experience on both the civil (first party property and insurance defense) and criminal (public defender, 13th Cir.) sides of the law. Although my most recent work experience was on the criminal side, I am eager to get back on the civil side - or explore roles outside the realm of traditional litigation (in-house, business ventures, etc.). My true passion, both within and outside the scope of the legal field, is the sports industry. I love learning and immersing myself in the business of sports - the behind-the-scenes, inner workings of the different leagues, individual franchises, governing bodies and associations. As a former athlete, I also have a strong passion for the sports themselves - Basketball, Baseball, Football and Hockey. In fact, one of my favorite hobbies is collecting sports cards. I found this hobby to be invaluably therapeutic throughout the bar prep process and that led me to successfully building an online sports card business and content creation platform in my free time. I hope to use my wide range of knowledge, experience and skills acquired through my various ventures to find a career I love.
