Objectives
Through the use of my political science and biology degree, as well as different opportunities and experiences I aim to learn more about myself, my place in the world and my abilities. My goal with every position I dedicate myself to is to develop my weaknesses and continue to grow in my strengths. I seek to surround myself with like-minded people and gain knowledge that not only increases my abilities as an individual but clarifies my niche and allows me to be a benefit to society. As an activist, mental and physical health enthusiast, and aspiring lawyer I have a variety of interests and passions. I want to use my training, maturity, and wisdom and implement them into my daily lifestyle, continuing to learn and teach so that I may become a successful addition to the small percentage of black female lawyers. I have plenty of aspirations and am open to venturing into other career paths as well.
