Why did you decide to go to law school?

A career in law offers the platform needed to advocate for individuals who often struggle to navigate complex legal systems. Coming from a historically underrepresented community, it became essential to help shift narratives and ensure that people with similar backgrounds receive informed and effective representation.

Health law is such a dynamic and wide-ranging field. I’m particularly interested in how emerging technologies, especially artificial intelligence, affect patient rights and informed consent. Understanding how legal frameworks adapt to technological advancements in healthcare is fascinating and critical.

What are you hoping to gain from this internship?

The internship is an opportunity to deepen practical understanding of how health law functions in real-world settings. Goals include refining legal research and writing skills, gaining exposure to complex regulatory landscapes, and collaborating with professionals dedicated to making healthcare more equitable and legally sound.
