Summary

As am I interested in pursing Civil Rights law, it's paramount that in my work I gain an amalgamation of skills and experiences that prepares me for a career in a field that is predicated on resilience and determination. Through a plethora of positions, I have systemically showed demonstrations of work ethic and leadership skills which have provided me with promotions and autonomy within my roles. I have also embraced team oriented positions in which collaboration and trust were integral. Additionally, I have maintained a presence in my local communities through political participation and activism.
