About

A story rooted in justice, shaped by institutions, and moving toward impact.

I am drawn to questions about power, fairness, and how rules affect real people. That interest has led me toward law, policing, labor, and the ethical frameworks behind public and private institutions.

At Cornell ILR, I am building the analytical foundation to study those systems closely. Through legal internships, student leadership, and public-interest work, I have been learning how research, writing, and thoughtful advocacy can translate into practical outcomes.

Long term, I see myself continuing into law school and building a career in legal or policy-facing work, with room for those goals to evolve as I keep testing them through experience.

What I’m doing now

  • Studying Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell
  • Exploring labor rights, ethics, and institutional design
  • Developing stronger research, writing, and policy skills

Outside academics

I also value the parts of life that keep work grounded: conversation, community, and the interests that remind me that strong judgment starts with paying attention to people.
