I am a second-year law student (2L) in pursuit of my Juris Doctor (J.D.) at Duquesne University Thomas R. Kline School of Law. My professional interests lie in property law, with a particular emphasis on environmental law, energy law, and regulatory and administrative law.
I earned my Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Communication from the University of Utah, where I was an active member of the John R. Park Debate Society, representing the university in competitive debate.
Beyond my academic and legal pursuits, I am passionate about creative endeavors, including short film, photography, and graphic design. I also enjoy curating closed terrariums, playing chess, and collecting antiques.
I've authored a comprehensive guide on creating and managing closed terrariums, which you can explore here. You may also find a gallery of my photography here, film work here, and graphic design here.
Legal writing samples are also available upon request.
