Personal Statement
I have always had a passion for community service and activism, and since attending Loyola, this interest has blossomed. I am the Director of Community Outreach for the Student Government Association, where I work to bridge the gap between the Loyola community and our neighboring Baltimore community. I am also currently interning at the Center for Community, Service, and Justice & York Road Initiative as the student Advocacy and Civic Engagement Program Coordinator. In this role, I am gaining valuable experience in advocating for people's constitutional rights and rallying support for bills and legislation that seek the same. I am learning about the structures of society and the way the legal system ties into it. I have also been given the privilege of organizing and facilitating events that bring attention and action to issues that I have learned about. This has inspired me further in my goal of legally defending the rights of citizens as a civil rights lawyer. Overall, through the Center, I am learning how to locate the legal and legislative root of problems and make targeted efforts for solutions. I hope to further this experience and my love for service throughout my future career and life.
