What does Women’s History Month mean to you personally? Women’s History Month, to me, represents the long fight and uphill battle fought by the women who came before me. Because of their persistence and sacrifice, I have the opportunity to pursue my dreams and attend law school. It also makes me reflect on the women in my own family and the sacrifices they made that helped me get to where I am today. Especially my mom, her strength and determination continue to inspire me as I work toward my own goals.
Name a woman who inspires you and why? Mindy Kaling because she is unapologetically herself, something I really admires.
How do you plan to make history? I hopes to make history by creating a stronger foundation, so that the next person stepping into whatever role I have held has an easier path forward.
Best advice for a 1L? My advice for a 1L is to go after things that you want, feel confident and believe in yourself.
