About Me

I am a recent graduate from Florida Gulf Coast University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies and Political Science. Currently, I am pursuing my MBA with a concentration in International Business. My passion for law has been a driving force in my life since childhood, and I have always envisioned a career in this field. Following my MBA, I plan to attend law school to further my education and commitment to justice.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have experience as a youth girls volleyball coach, where I developed leadership skills and a strong sense of community. I am dedicated to helping others and am particularly motivated by the desire to address injustices faced by the less fortunate. Outside of my studies and coaching, I enjoy spending time in nature, hiking, camping, and practicing yoga. These activities help me to unwind and maintain balance in my life.
