Summary

I am a JD candidate at Stetson College of Law, Class of 2028, who served as a political intern following my graduation from Florida State University with a bachelor’s degree. During my time at the Florida House of Representatives, I conducted legislative research and analysis, drafted bill language and amendments, tracked committee activity, and supported constituent engagement through events and newsletters. I continue now to assist the representative for whom I interned in a similar capacity. This experience taught me a strong understanding of the political process. I now intend to attain a legal education, building on the foundation I have gained from my public policy and legislation work. With this, I will pursue a career practicing law.
