About Me
I am a 2018 Truman Scholar from Alabama and a senior at Georgetown University majoring in government and minoring in history. A first-generation, low-income, non-traditional student from Mobile, Alabama, I earned my GED, graduated summa cum laude from community college, and received a 1789 Scholarship to transfer to Georgetown University. Upon graduation, I plan to go to law school and pursue a career as a public interest attorney specializing in civil rights law.
