Personal Statement

I am passionate about law, leadership, and service. I learned the importance of civic engagement and common good at a young age. Both of these interests are integral to my philosophy of servant leadership. At the age of fifteen, I volunteered at Justice of the Peace Teen Court under Judge Gravell and learned about children at risk and social justice. As I got older, I pursued my interest in social justice and have been driving voter registration and voting rights. Voting is a fundamental right we all have and an important duty in our society as citizens of the world. I have learned by experience that there are a lot of motivated people that want to create change in the world. Most recently, as president of SU's College Republicans, I worked closely with president to address the importance of voting in the 2018 Midterm Elections. My off-campus experience includes working with US Congressman Carter, Judge Stacy Matthews, Judge Bill Gravell, and the State of Texas, Williamson County Elections Office. I am also actively engaged in campus collaborations and have contributed over 2000 hours of service to my community in order to foster long term social change.
