What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue building hands-on legal experience through litigation, legal research, document drafting, client communication, and case strategy work.

I've supported legal matters at Bamba Law LLC, the Law Offices of James Crawford and Associates, and the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. I draft settlement demands, complaints, briefs, motions, orders, subpoenas, administrative memorandums, and discovery documents.

Through client calls, pre-screening consults, hearing preparation, mediation correspondence, and communication with courts and medical institutions, I help move cases forward while maintaining responsive client service.

I'm a Juris Doctor graduate focused on business law, a student attorney, and a national mock trial prosecution opening attorney recognized with a second-place finish.
