Pursuing a B.A. in international development with minors in political science and communication at McGill University in Montréal, Canada, I am charting a path toward a career in law that blends creative innovation with critical inquiry.

With roots in California’s vibrant Bay Area, my upbringing was defined by a rich blend of experiences — igniting an early passion for exploration and expression. From painting 400 sq. ft + murals in bioscience incubators to skiing the slopes of Tahoe and catching a sunset on the beach all in one day, to exploring diverse cuisines, art, and music in San Francisco, I have always been attuned to how our environment shapes our world.

Captivated by questions of justice and ethics since childhood, I am always seeking to understand and challenge the frameworks that shape our everyday lives. I love to learn, and believe my inherent curiosity pushes me to think deeply about how systems operate and where they can be improved to better serve us all.

Analytical by nature and creative by trade, I approach problems from a myriad of angles, striving to craft solutions as innovative and equitable as they are effective. I am seeking opportunities that will challenge my perspective, expand my understanding of the world, and allow me to apply my unique blend of analysis and creativity to the pursuit of meaningful change.
