“The overall inspiration for me to want to pursue a career in the legal field is the desire to help advocate and represent more minorities in the legal system. Not only is there a lack of representation of women but also women of color within legal professions. I want to be a passionate attorney working toward bringing justice for minorities specifically. We are the ones targeted by the law the majority of the time. We deserve more people to fight for us and one of the many ways I plan to do so is through practicing law! My parents are also a huge inspiration for my passion. I’ve watched how much they’ve sacrificed to come to this country and let me have access to the education I do. They’ve always been supportive about what I want to do and push me to continue to fight for what I believe in.”
