Aspiring attorney with a focus on family and juvenile law.

United States

What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to grow in family and juvenile law, with a focus on social justice and community impact.

I am a dedicated law student at Texas Southern University, where I am pursuing my J.D. with an expected graduation in May 2026. My academic journey has been marked by active participation in organizations such as the Black Law Student Association and the Family and Juvenile Law Society. I have been recognized with the Howard University and PNC for Entrepreneurs Southwest Region Award, showcasing my commitment to legal excellence and community engagement.

My professional experience includes roles as a Legal Secretary at Baumann, Xu, and Black LLC, where I prepared and filed various legal documents and conducted legal research to support case strategies. Additionally, I interned at the Dallas County Juvenile Justice Department, contributing to strategic discussions and case development. My background in immigration law as a Legal Assistant at BerryAppleman & Leiden LLP further solidified my skills in managing complex legal processes and client communications.
