"Help one another in acts of righteousness and piety"

-Al Quran 5:2

I am incredibly passionate about helping others. My day is not complete if I haven't helped someone or put a smile on a person's face. As an aspiring lawyer, I hope to use my education to deliver quality legal services, help people achieve their goals and make critical legal information more accessible for marginalized communities. I want to contribute to a safer, more equitable world for all.
