The Donaghey Scholars Program encouraged me to study abroad. I spent the summer interning at a cutting-edge national research center in Ireland. My favorite part was being in an academic lab environment and getting to see how people at different levels work together on projects.

I attended Bowen law school part-time while I worked, gaining experience in real estate and estate planning, while also broadening my experience as a law clerk. I worked with a professor as a research assistant and I’ve been blessed to have many professors as incredible mentors.
