Experience

During my time in law school, I was selected as a Public Interest Law Initiative Grant Recipient and spent the summer of 2019 at a Legal Aid organization representing low-income individuals. I was also selected for the University of Illinois’ Veterans Legal Clinic, where I represented veterans on various matters including discharge upgrades and housing. After graduating from law school, I joined a personal injury firm in Champaign, Illinois, where I litigated a variety of personal injury cases on behalf of plaintiffs who had suffered preventable and unnecessary harm. I gained significant litigation and trial experience during my time there.
