Program Foundation Statement

I'm a high school student based in Frisco, Texas with a strong interest in pursuing a career in law. Through my involvement in debate, Model United Nations, and Teen Court, l've developed skills in public speaking, critical thinking, and analyzing complex legal issues.

I'm particularly interested in how attorneys approach real-world cases and advocate for their clients, and I'm excited to gain hands-on experience through this opportunity.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing violin and piano,

baking, and spending time with friends and family.
