Starting from a young age I enjoyed helping others, whether that was volunteering at a women's shelter or packing meals for kids in need. Once I entered college I found what I was truly passionate about. I was the president of a student organization that taught students about consent and helped victims of sexual violence. We collaborated with the university to create consent curriculum and improve programs to help victims. I knew that this was something I wanted to continue with my career. When I decided to go to law school I wanted to attend a school with a strong commitment to community service and a good public interest program. Boyd's Public Interest Fellowship Program was what really drew me to the school. Being given the opportunity to find a mentor in the public interest field and receive financial support is so helpful for setting me up for success in a career where I can help victims.
