Fall 2026 · Legal Internship Candidate
Third-year Political Science and Pre-Law student at NYU, with a focus on electoral law, democratic institutions, and civil liberties. Passionate about using legal research and advocacy to strengthen democratic processes.
About me
I am a third-year student at New York University majoring in Political Science with a Pre-Law concentration. My academic work centers on the intersection of constitutional law, election administration, and voting rights — areas I find both intellectually compelling and urgently relevant.
Outside the classroom, I have been involved with NYU's Moot Court Board and have volunteered with voter registration initiatives in lower Manhattan. I am looking to apply these interests in a hands-on legal setting this fall.
