Through the Gilman Scholarship Program, I was chosen to study and intern abroad, something I would not otherwise participate in due to financial constraints. I selected Kathmandu, Nepal, and Amritsar, India; however, it was constrained due to the 2020 global pandemic.

As a UCLA Central Valley Law Fellow, I received professional-level instruction by UCLA Law faculty in which I was exposed to cases and a variety of other materials taught in law school.
