It was a culmination of experiences and people that led me to discover my interests in language and culture and, ultimately, to major in Linguistics and Anthropology at New York University.

​

In my final year at NYU, my passions for creativity and advocacy converged through courses in media anthropology and copyright law, highlighting the legal side of storytelling. That experience sparked my interest in Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law.

​

I was then led to California, where I worked with an entertainment lawyer, gaining firsthand insight into the film industry. From indie producers to major production companies and screenwriters, I observed the legal challenges creatives face as they navigate the industry. The experience deepened my desire to support their work and protect their voices. 

​

​As I prepare for law school, I work as a Trusts and Estates Paralegal. My background in anthropology and linguistics continues to shape the way I engage with the law. It offers a nuanced understanding of culture and communication as I work within my diverse community of The Bronx.
