A student at the seam between law, tech, & public life.
I'm a student at Chapman University pursuing triple majors in Political Science, Sociology, and Legal Studies. My interests sit at the intersection of law, technology, advocacy, institutional systems, and public discourse. Through legal writing, mock trial, debate, and professional legal experience, I explore how communication, governance, and emerging technologies shape modern legal and social structures.
My work spans constitutional law, digital privacy, posthumous data rights, women's rights, and interdisciplinary legal research, alongside interests in systems thinking, public-facing communication, and creative problem-solving. Beyond academics, I'm deeply interested in the role of advocacy and structured argumentation — whether in courtroom simulations, legal analysis, or collaborative projects.
Currently, I serve as a Legal Assistant at Parikh & Prasad PC and contribute as a writer for Chapman University's Undergraduate Law Review. I am also actively involved in Mock Trial, Speech & Debate, and Kappa Alpha Pi Pre-Law Fraternity.
"
The questions I care about don't sit neatly inside any one discipline — so I read three of them at once.
