What do you think is the BEST thing about Cumberland?

The best thing about Cumberland is definitely the people, and that’s something I’ve felt consistently since my very first visit.

Why did you choose Cumberland?

I felt welcomed from day one, and I knew I wanted to be at a place where I could be challenged, but also where I would have the support I need and a good quality of life. Additionally, Cumberland’s nationally ranked trial advocacy program stood out to me, as well as the incredible sense of community among both the faculty and students.

What do you most enjoy about studying law in Birmingham? What do you like to do in Birmingham?

Besides being home, Birmingham is a rapidly growing city with a thriving legal community, making it an ideal place to explore diverse legal opportunities across various fields. I value Birmingham's rich history, culture, and, most importantly, its food! There are also many outdoor activities to enjoy.

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

Embrace the journey! Becoming a lawyer is an exciting goal, but it’s important to enjoy the process along the way, from preparing for the LSAT to passing the bar. Embrace the challenges, growth, and learning that come with law school. It’s easy to get caught up in the pressure of grades and the “what ifs,” but remember that the experience itself will shape you in ways you may not expect.

What do you plan to do after graduation?

After graduation, I plan to practice law in the Southeast region, where I hope to contribute to the community and address legal issues specific to the area.
