When I decided to pursue a career in the legal field, education was not the priority in my life. Throughout my undergraduate process, I balanced my education with various civilian jobs and military assignments. Coordinating schedules for UPS, then attending 7 months of initial entry military training. Waitressing, then mobilizing for 13 months away from home for a CENTCOM deployment. Teaching K-12 and GED classes, then attending leadership training to become a non-commissioned officer. My military experience and my civilian goals are vastly different, but they both revolve around my desire to work hard and contribute to the world. I hope to find a legal career that allows me to positively contribute to the lives of those around me.
