United StatesWhat I'm looking for
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.
