A Little About Myself.I was raised in the Panama City, Florida. In 2017, after getting my AA from Gulf Coast State College, I attended the University of Central Florida. While at UCF I received a BA in Political Science with a certificate in Intelligence and National Security. Following my graduation from UCF in 2019, I began attending Stetson University College of Law. I am on track to graduate with the class of 2022.
It is my professional goal to work as an environmental protection lawyer in Hawai'i. Hawai'i has always been a second state for me. My dad worked for Matson Navigation for 30 years. In that time, Hawai'i was always a part of my life. I am currently in the Environmental Law Concentration at Stetson and plan on expanding my understand of Hawaii's unique environment by attending the Richardson School of Law Summer Law Program in Summer of 2021. |
