Aspiring attorney with a strong background in legal research.

What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my legal skills while contributing to meaningful causes.

I am a dedicated law student at Southwestern Law School, set to graduate in May 2024 with a Juris Doctor degree. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my cum laude graduation from Loyola Marymount University with a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations. I have actively engaged in various volunteer opportunities, including my work with Jewish Family Services of Los Angeles, which has deepened my understanding of community needs and legal support.

Throughout my legal career, I have gained invaluable experience through internships and clerkships. At Perry & Alznauer, P.C., I honed my skills in preparing EB-1 and EB-2 visa applications, conducting legal research, and maintaining client communication. My role at Bet Tzedek Legal Services allowed me to work directly with Holocaust survivors, preparing their reparations applications, which was both challenging and rewarding. I am passionate about using my legal knowledge to advocate for those in need and contribute positively to society.
