What inspired you to pursue a law degree? Ìý

BD: During my final semester of undergrad, I interned at Blue Sky Bridge (a child advocacy center for victims of abuse). While interning at BSB, I heard stories of pain and loss suffered by these children and was exposed to the gaps within our systems to support vulnerable populations like this. The work my supervisors did inspired me to pursue a law degree to advocate for children.ÌýÌý
