A political science graduate from UT Arlington, now working in the legal field in Washington, D.C. and preparing for law school, with a deep interest in public service, policy, and civic institutions.
Currently a legal administrative assistant at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick PLLC in Washington, D.C., where I support litigation teams with research, drafting, and case preparation. The experience has given me a firsthand view of how legal arguments are constructed, how courts reason through complex questions, and how the adversarial process shapes outcomes.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a degree in political science, which gave me a foundation in understanding how institutions function, how policy is made, and how power operates in democratic systems. I have always been drawn to the questions that sit at the intersection of law and governance: Who decides? By what authority? With what limits?
