Fun fact about yourself:
I can stand on my head! (Shout out to my fellow yogis.)

Work experience you're most proud of:
I’m proud of my path from paralegal to MBA/JD student. Each step has taught me something different about how legal, business and strategic decisions intersect and made me even more curious about where those worlds meet.

Why did you want to pursue an MBA:
I wanted to learn to see problems from both sides of the table: how legal frameworks shape business decisions, and how business realities shape the problems lawyers are asked to solve.

Why did you choose Freeman:
I chose Freeman for the vibrant and tight-knit community in the heart of a city with just as much character and charm.

Where do you want to be in five years:
A seasoned Miami attorney with a practice I love.

What do you like to do in your spare time:
You don't have to ask me twice if I want to curl up with a book and my cat after hitting a cute dinner spot!
