During her gap year in between sophomore and junior year, she interned at various public service organizations and government offices, including the LA County District Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Before law school, she taught English in Spain for two years, interned at the Organization of American States, researched for a professor, took a Zoom French class, and survived the worst of the pandemic with family time and good humor.
