Summary
Driven and organized freshman at Howard University, majoring in English with plans to minor in African Studies. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, I am pre-law and deeply passionate about human justice work, drawing on experience in the legal field, non-profit organizations, and community development. After skipping two grades, I graduated high school at 15 and took a gap year to intern, travel, and strengthen family connections. An avid reader and self-starter, I excel in managing administrative tasks, supporting teams, and engaging with clients both in person and virtually. On a journey to mastering and understanding the power of effective communication, I am proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and office management, and have developed strong communication skills through internships in the legal and non-profit sectors.
