I am an aspiring litigator focused on a career in international law and national security with plans to attend law school in the fall of 2026. I've honed the skills necessary for this path through extensive trial advocacy experience as a competitor, captain, and coach with the University of Washington's premier mock trial program. My research and published works explore a wide array of topics within my field of interest, most notably the impact of military commissions on law and order, as well as the Supreme Court's deference to the executive branch in national security matters. Additionally, I've gained practical experience in immigration law at a firm handling asylum claims, temporary protected status cases, and employment-based visas for employees belonging to Fortune 500 companies.
