Why Saint Louis University School of Law? The law has always interested me and a law degree is one of the most practical and versatile post-graduate degrees out there. I chose to come here because I felt like it fit me best. There are a several great schools in the region, but after meeting with professors and other people at Saint Louis University, I knew I wanted to come here. Don't underestimate how a school makes you feel while you are there visiting.

Your Best Experience at the School: Relaxing and enjoying drinks with my classmates after first semester exams.

What Do You Hope to Accomplish with Your Legal Education? I'm not sure yet in what capacity I will use my legal education, but that's the beauty of law school. I know several of my classmates do not intend to practice law, but they will use the knowledge and skills they developed here in any career they choose.

Extracurricular Interests: Music, reading and swimming
