Summary

My name is Makenna Lewis, and I hold a degree in Political Science with a minor in English. Originally from Jasper, Alabama, I’ve built a strong foundation in legal and societal analysis through both academic study and hands-on experience. My passion lies at the intersection of law, justice, and public service, with a particular interest in criminal prosecution and transactional criminal law. In addition to my legal focus, I bring strong interpersonal and communication skills developed through years of experience in the customer service industry, equipping me with the ability to work effectively in fast-paced, client-centered environments.
