If you could give any advice to your Pre-Law school self, what would you say?

Always find a healthy balance in your day-to-day life. Stay on top of your work each day to keep yourself from falling behind while also making time for the things you enjoy. Too much focus on one thing is often counterproductive to your mental and even physical health.

What do you plan to do after graduation?

I plan to practice law in some capacity on the defensive side of civil litigation.
