Academic Guide

Prior to attending law school, I was pursuing a degree in secondary education where I aspired to be a history teacher, with futuristic dreams of being a college-level professor in my hometown of Owensboro, KY. Then, my dad, whom resided in Florida, went to prison for a crime he did not commit. His route to freedom was minuscule, at most. The system failed him and he needed help on a federal level that my family was financially unable to provide. As such, I switched universities, developed some serious self confidence, and engulfed myself in the field of law. At first, I was saddened by the thought of not teaching because it's the one thing that I was truly good at and loved dearly. Nevertheless, I was able to merge my passion for teaching with my aspiration to become a lawyer when I was recommended and selected by my professors to become a student tutor at the university's library. I was so successful, I was invited to tutor the remainder of my undergrad and beyond. During that time, I got to intern with various judges and educators to help make a difference in the lives of others, particularly delinquent juveniles. The knowledge and skills that I developed through those venues are paramount to my success today as a tutor and 3L JD applicant. My father passed away last October, never receiving the justice or due process he deserved. However, his injustice paved a route to help others in his memory; through the ability to move out a small town in Kentucky, get accepted into my dream law school located in Florida, and make a true difference in the lives of others through legal and educational remedy--or what I like to label as "having my cake, and eating it, too!"

I work with students from 6th grade - mastery-level college courses in all subjects except: Spanish, Physics, and Statistics.
