Educational/Professional Background

Spring 2017 graduate of FSU with a BS in Economics and Minors in Business and Entreprenuership. During my undergraduate years I was heavily involved on FSU's campus. In my fraternity I served was elected as the historian and later the President of my 160 man chapter. Following my service as chapter president I received the FSU Inter-Fraternity Council President of the Year Award (2017). Over the course of my undergraduate years I actively volunteered with Best Buddies, including as an event organizer coordinating joint events with the buddies and other greek life organizations. In the greek community at large, I served as the Director of Line Dance: Showcase of the Arts (a dance competition hosted by multiple fraternities working in unison to raise money for FSU organizations). Under my guidance the event raised over $100,000, directly benefitting the FSU Victim Advocate Program, FSU College of Business, and FSU Campus Police Department. Additionally, as an undergraduate I was initiated into the Garnet & Gold Key Leadership Honor Society.

I entered law school in Fall 2017 and have continued my heavy on campus involvement from the start. During my first year of law school I served as the Student Government Association Attorney General. The following year I was appointed and confirmed to a position on the Student Supreme Court and now in my final year I serve as the Chief Justice of this Court. In my second year of law school I was elected to serve on the executive board of the FSU College of Law Student Bar Assoication (SBA) as the 2L Representative. At the end of my second year of law school I was elected to serve again on the SBA executive board, this time as the Treasurer for my third year of law school. In addition, I am a member of the Business Law Society, Tax Law Society, and the Hillsborough County Bar Association (student member).
