I have always been an active student, proud of my study habits both during my times in college at Washington U. in St. Louis and in law school at Cornell. I have always been engaged in political and social affairs, volunteering my time to aid impoverished students (America SCORES) and protect the environment (Missouri Coalition for the Environment). On the side, I was very active athletically, playing both tennis and soccer, and active musically, writing and recording 40 of my own songs while playing piano and singing. Having worked as a research assistant and writer for a university professor (muddywatermacro.wustl.edu), as a soccer coach for a high school JV soccer team, and as a lawyer for a prestigious law firm in Manhattan (Goodwin Procter LLP), I am always looking for promising opportunities to expand my social and professional circles, to eventually end up with a rewarding career.
