What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my legal knowledge and research skills in a collaborative environment, ideally within a firm or organization focused on international law and policy.

I am a dedicated law student at The George Washington University Law School, where I am pursuing my Juris Doctor degree with an expected graduation in May 2027. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my Merit Scholarship and a GPA of 3.24. I am actively involved in various student organizations, including the International Arbitration Student Association and the International Law Society, which have enriched my understanding of international law and arbitration.

In addition to my studies, I have gained valuable experience through various research assistant positions and internships. My role as an LSAT Tutor allowed me to assist students in mastering test-taking strategies and navigating the law school admissions process. Furthermore, my internship with the US House of Representatives provided me with firsthand experience in legislative research and constituent engagement. I have also participated in the Lex Fellowship in Italy, where I evaluated legal case studies and compared legal systems, enhancing my global perspective on law.
