Philadelphia

Summary

I am a Senior at La Salle College High School, looking to major in Political Science, with a goal of a career in law. In the classroom, I pride myself on my ability to read, analyze, and write, and utilize these skills strongly. I hope to apply these abilities through opportunities surrounding legal work to experience a true hands-on setting in the legal field.
