Ariah Kragness

Summary

Ariah is a natural young leader with excellent time management and reactive problem-solving skills. She fast-tracked her academic career in 2023 by receiving her Associate's degree before she graduated high school and currently tracks four years of work experience at the age of 18. She is not only dedicated to her educational success but also driven to succeed in the workplace and all other areas of life. Consistency and perseverance are more than familiar to her. Socially, aside from her work experience she has led and become a part of organizations like the Black Student Union and Professional Women's Council that have laid the foundation for her servant leadership and allowed her to be better connected to her passions of social justice, reform, and professionalism as an inspiring law school student. While approaching college graduation in 2025, Ariah hopes to find mentorship, networking, externships, and job opportunities specific to her pre-law track.
