What has been the highlight of your experience at Emory Law/ TI:GER?

Towards the end of my 1L year, I was awarded as a recipient of the BLSA 1L Scholarship which was awarded to students who demonstrate leadership and dedication to the law school and surrounding community, continuing the organization’s legacy of giving back and striving for excellence in personal, academic and professional endeavors.

What inspired you to pursue a career in law?

A career in law has always appealed to me as I believed I had the necessary qualities. I also earned a Legal Administrative Specialist certificate in high school, where I was  able to learn a lot about the legal system. This course solidified my interest in pursuing a career in law.
