Profiles
I was really drawn to the clinics at Maine Law and the practical experience they offer. That kind of education is going to allow me to be the best possible advocate for people. I can’t wait to get started.
Maine Law felt like the right fit. I wanted a place that wanted me, and from the beginning their message to me has been ‘you belong here’ and I believe that’s true.
Attending COP was the perfect way to connect the dots between what I’ve been learning in class, the research I’ve been doing, and the current state of affairs globally.
What drew me to the legislature is the same thing that draws me to Maine Law: fighting climate change, protecting our environment, and caring for my community.
