With the Narrative Justice Project I hope to delve into the prevalent and often overlooked problems that underrepresented groups face on a day-to-day basis. I am hopeful to contribute meaningfully to this incredibly important organization and look forward to exploring and learning about an area of law that I have not been afforded an opportunity to explore yet.

I wanted to go to law school to be an advocate, help individuals with their legal problems and further the public good. During my time at Widener, I have been able to gain practical experience through various internships, law clerk positions, clinics, and the Narrative Justice Project. I am incredibly grateful for all the opportunities and look forward to continuing my work with this project
