My interest in law became certain during a challenging and formative period in my familys life. When my uncle was wrongfully accused of murder, I witnessed firsthand how a legal process, even without a guilty finding, can disrupt stability, relationships, and a sense of security. Although he was ultimately not found guilty, the accusation alone triggered a series of events that affected our entire household, including a divorce, a custody dispute, and my uncle moving into our home. What impacted me most was seeing my family overwhelmed and uncertain, unsure of what steps to take simply because we did not understand the legal system or our rights within it. Experiencing this at a young age revealed how deeply legal involvement can affect not only those directly accused, but their families as well. It was through this experience that I began to see law not as an abstract set of rules, but as a force that demands careful advocacy, accountability, and protection for individuals navigating it.That experience shaped the questions I wanted to answer, how people respond to stress, authority, and uncertainty when navigating systems that hold significant power over their lives.

In college, I chose psychology as my major to explore these questions in an academic setting, with particular attention to decision making and behavior within systems of authority. At the same time, I completed a full health science curriculum, including biology, chemistry, physics, and organic chemistry etc. Pursuing two academic tracks while graduating early was demanding, but it taught me resilience, discipline, and the ability to perform under pressure. These experiences strengthened my academic foundation and prepared me for the rigor of law school.

Through work and volunteer experiences, I developed skills that showed me what responsible advocacy looks like in real settings. As a front desk associate in a high volume veterinary clinic and later legal assisting in a law firm, I was often the first point of contact for individuals experiencing stress, fear, or uncertainty. Managing confidential information, addressing sensitive concerns, and maintaining composure under pressure taught me the importance of discretion, clear communication, and trust qualities that are essential in both legal practice and legal education.

I also served on the Phi Sigma Sigma executive council, where I helped organize community service initiatives aimed at supporting underserved populations. Working directly on nonprofit efforts showed me that meaningful change often begins with organization, accountability, and follow through. These experiences reinforced my belief that service is not separate from professional responsibility, but an extension of it, and it continues to shape how I hope to contribute to my community as a future attorney.

Over time, I realized my true calling was at the intersection of medicine and law. Health law became the clear path forward, as it allows me to combine my academic background with my desire to advocate for individuals who often feel powerless within complex systems.Law school is more than my next academic step, it is the path through which I intend to transform personal adversity into purposeful advocacy. I am prepared not only to study the law, but to use it as a tool to stand up for those who feel unheard within complex systems.
