Life Before Dickinson Law:
Before coming to law school, I was studying at the University of South Florida where I had the chance to do a study abroad in London with my friends. I also worked at the Florida House during the 2023 Session which was a unique experience and actually validated my passion for law.

A Dickinson Law Favorite:
The abundance of food and events with guest speakers.

Why Dickinson Law?:
The Law School’s emphasis on experiential learning allows students to apply theoretical concepts in real-world settings. As a hands-on learner, I wanted a school with options to engage in various practice areas before graduating.

Favorite Course:
I loved Civil Procedure with Professor Newton.

Something You Love About Carlisle:
