What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow as an attorney while making a meaningful impact in the community.

I am a dedicated law student at Loyola University Chicago School of Law, expected to graduate with my Juris Doctor in May 2026. My academic journey has been complemented by practical experiences, including my role as a Law Clerk at Kevin O’Connor Law Firm, where I have honed my skills in legal research and case preparation. My GPA of 3.11 reflects my commitment to excellence in my studies and my passion for the law.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various legal roles, including as a Paralegal at Metropolitan Family Services, where I managed a caseload of 30 to 40 clients, ensuring they received comprehensive legal services. My work with the Cook County Public Defender's Office allowed me to advocate for community representation and engage with over 500 community members, emphasizing my commitment to accessibility in legal resources. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute my skills to a dynamic legal team.
