“I am honored to receive the NAWL Outstanding Law Student Award. This award reflects the phenomenal women in my life who have shaped me. Their strength, resilience, and unwavering support inspired me to become a strong advocate and to empower other women in the legal field. This award, and the legacy of strength it represents, will forever be a reminder of the women who came before me and the ones I strive to inspire.”
