As a first-generation college student, I have navigated the past three and a half years with openness and curiosity. My academic and professional experiences have deepened my passion for legal procedures and finding techniques to improve work environments, client relations, and legal work. With my research expertise, both professionally and academically, I have evaluated psychological and sociological issues, conducting studies ranging from determining relationships between self-esteem and friendships, to examining the impact of financial stressors on previously incarcerated individuals. I have developed effective writing and presentation techniques to explain data, collaborate with peers, and analyze findings through various programs to reach meaningful conclusions.
