Harper College → Georgetown University → NYU School of Law

"The remarkable people I met at Harper College helped guide me to law school and beyond.

My advisors gave me access to endless resources to cultivate personal and professional growth. My coaches and teammates trained me to push myself, mentally and physically. And my professors and classmates inspired me to pursue exciting academic opportunities.

Overall, the people at Harper taught me to say yes to new challenges, and that ethic continues to shape my success."
