Life before Penn State Dickinson Law: I worked as a paralegal for a personal injury law firm, I played semi-professional soccer in Panama City Florida, I was a collegiate athlete for all 4 years of undergrad, and I grew up in a military family and have travelled all over the world, including living in England for a good portion of my life

A Penn State Dickinson Law Favorite: Curtilage Comebacks

Why Penn State Dickinson Law?: I always like to take on new locations and challenges, and since my brother came to Penn State for undergrad, I was intrigued by the school and wanted to take on a new experience in Pennsylvania

Externship Experience: Looking to get an externship in the spring for JAG or the Dauphin County State Attorney’s Office

Favorite Course: Torts or Contracts

Advice for Prospective Law Students: Always find time away from your studies, having a social life is beneficial to keep you sane not only in law school, but also when going through the different seasons, especially when you are not used to experiencing each season and the changes in weather that come with it.

Something you Love about Carlisle or University Park: What I love about Carlisle is that it is a nice small town with plenty of things to do, it is close to the state capital where you have the chance to watch our minor league baseball team, and you do not have to worry about the stresses of a big campus life to get the best education.

On Choosing a Law School: Do what you think will set you up for the best future and what feels right to you in the moment.
