What is your favorite law school memory?

During the fall 2020 semester, I had the opportunity to complete a full-time externship with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia. I was able to learn from some of the most talented attorneys in the State of West Virginia and assist in court proceedings in the United States District Court as a third-year law student.

Who/what inspired you to to go law school?

I came to law school with the goal of becoming a prosecutor. I come from a family of public servants – military and law enforcement – and the importance of service was instilled within me at a young age. I saw the vital role a prosecutor served in seeking justice and protecting and rebuilding communities. It is exciting work that carries a significant impact.

Who would you like to thank?

I would like to thank my family for the endless support. I would also like to thank the faculty and staff at the College of Law that played such a significant role in my success. I would like to personally thank Professor Cardi, Professor DiSalvo, and Professor Weishart.
