I started at the University of Arkansas in August 2022, and I graduated in May 2025! I got a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology with a minor in Psychology. I joined the International Criminal Justice Honors Society in my last semester.

Internships!

Here is the only photo I could find from my summer internship in 2024! I worked for a capital murder attorney in Grapevine, Texas. This is where I fell in love with the law! After this internship ended, I could not imagine myself doing anything else, and so my law school journey began. I also worked at a crisis management firm, which I loved. And, starting August 2025, I will be working for the U.S. Attorney's office here in Dallas to advance my knowledge about the legal world!

Next Steps!

I am currently studying to take the September 2025 LSAT. It has been brutal! I study for about 2-3 hours every day. My dream law school is Texas A&M! I will apply right after I get my LSAT score back, which will be late September. I am really excited to pursue my dreams and am so grateful I have the opportunity to do this! As of right now, I would love to do criminal law, but you never know what I will find interesting throughout those three years of school, so I guess we will see where I end up!
