CURRENT MISSION

To find the right law school to fullfill my dream

ABOUT ME

I have a very interesting background and many varied interests. I am a 31 year old male who was born in Palm Springs, raised in Seattle, went to university in Los Angeles, and moved back to Seattle in 2010. Now I'm looking to start a new chapter in my life by going to law school. I am 100% committed to practicing public interest law, specifically non-profit legal aid or civil rights groups such as the ACLU. I especially love intellectual discourse about ideas, politics, changing the world, etc. I am very laid back and welcoming to everybody I meet. I thrive on meeting new people, especially from different areas of the world, as their unique life experiences and perspectives enrich my own and teach me more about the world, as well as introducing me to new ways of looking at things. However, if you are more introverted I will totally respect that as well and won’t intrude on your space. I’m clean and tidy, I don’t smoke tobacco regularly but don’t care if you do, I sleep like a log, and I am very flexible to accommodate your habits and routine.

PHILOSOPHY

You can accomplish your dreams but you must have patience and determination.
