Legal intern and pre-law student building client-ready attention to detail.
What I'm looking for
I’m a pre-law Political Science student building practical legal experience through internships at Foley & Lardner and Vinson & Elkins. In every role, I focus on accuracy, preparation, and supporting attorneys and clients with dependable, professional work.
At Foley & Lardner, I facilitated partners by proofreading drafts and organized case details, while observing litigation and deposition proceedings. I also assisted clients while exceeding in hospitality, learning how to stay composed and helpful in high-stakes environments.
At Vinson & Elkins, I applied critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a dynamic legal environment. I adapted to high-energy situations, contributing to multiple projects and team initiatives—staying flexible without losing attention to detail.
Beyond legal work, I lead with communication and people-focused impact. As a Dobie Volleyball Lead Manager, I handled equipment management and supported coaches during games, practices, and tournaments; as a Houston Parks and Rec. Volunteer and Houston Hires Intern, I de-escalated confrontational situations and developed lesson plans for foster and special needs children—skills I bring into my current Save a Girl Save a World role.
