I chose to attend UGA because …

… I felt it presented me with the best opportunities to reach my goals. In the Honors College and in Law School, I have consistently been provided with the opportunities I needed to succeed. Plus, I love SEC football and there is nothing like a game between the hedges.

My favorite things to do on campus are …

These days, I spend most of my time in the Law Library! But I enjoy spending time in the Founders Garden, walking around North Campus and reading on Herty Field.

When I have free time, I like …

I enjoy singing and dancing. In undergrad, I was part of With Someone Else’s Money, UGA’s premier co-ed a cappella group. I also enjoy going to OrangeTheory Fitness and hot yoga.

The craziest thing I’ve done is …

… participate in an exchange student program with a high school in Germany at age 15.

My favorite place to study is …

… the main section of the Law Library.

My favorite professor is …

… Mehrsa Baradaran

If I could share an afternoon with anyone, I would love to share it with …

… Ellen Degeneres.

If I knew I could not fail, I would …

… run for the U.S. Senate.

If money was not a consideration, I would love to …

… spend a few years abroad, especially in Asia and Africa.

What is your passion and how are you committed to pursuing it?

My passion is the fair and equitable administration of justice. I am drawn to public service and eventually intend to pursue a career working at the intersection of law and government. Whether I spend my career as an advocate, or transition into a different legal role, I will remain committed to maintaining the rule of law and the integrity of our legal institutions.

After graduation, I plan to …

I have accepted a two-year clerkship with a federal judge at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division. After that, I have accepted an offer to join the litigation group at Eversheds Sutherland in Atlanta.

The one UGA experience I will always remember will be …

My time at Delta Hall in Washington, D.C. The Honors in Washington program was an incredible experience, and I had the opportunity to work for UGA’s Director of Federal Government Relations. Getting to advocate on behalf of the university I loved was very rewarding.
