Growing up in Brooklyn with dyslexia was a challenging experience, but I refused to let it define me. I worked tirelessly to overcome my learning difference, which taught me the value of resilience and determination. My academic success allowed me to develop crucial skills, including leadership, communication, analysis, problem-solving, and organization. Enhancing and developing these skills will allow me to become an advocate for the underserved within the judicial system and an avid criminal defense attorney. My ultimate goal is to disrupt the cycle of stagnation that has long plagued African Americans within the criminal justice system. I am passionate about making a real difference and believe the best way to do so is by learning the system and using that knowledge to bring about positive change. I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and am eager to use my skills and experience to fight for justice and equality for all.
