What attracted you to Loyola:
Loyola's devotion and commitment to public interest is what attracted me to Loyola. For years I have struggled to explain to colleagues, friends, and family about my devotion to public interest. Loyola has allowed me to turn this devotion into a field of study and career.

What is the greatest learning experience you have had at Loyola:
There are so many things thus far at Loyola that have been important to my career and personal development. This past summer, with the support of the ChildLaw center I was able to intern abroad in South Africa where I learned and experienced international law firsthand. This year I have been fortunate to extern at the Northern District Court of Illinois, where I not only see various type of law processes take place, but I write opinions thereby participating myself. The classes I have taken and the activities that I have participated in have definitely confirmed to me that I want to be an attorney and that there are careers available that fit my needs.

Who inspires you and Why:
My dad is my source of inspiration. He continues to do so much for me and my siblings. I would not be where I am without him.
