As a student, I have taken up many interests in sports, law, and politics.
Sports
Over the course of my four years at Michigan, I have worked in some of the highest roles within Michigan Athletics. I got my start with ‘The Michigan Daily’ as a sportswriter and worked as the Michigan Baseball Beat Writer my freshman year. I then joined the Michigan Student Radio Station, WCBN, my sophomore year, performing live play-by-play commentary on every Michigan Varsity sport. Shortly after, I joined Big Ten Student U, a sports broadcasting group that streams live Michigan sporting events on Big Ten Network Plus. During the summer after my sophomore year, I got the opportunity to work for NBC Sports as a Sports Desk Editor, personally curating the main website. Finally, I was hired as the Michigan football and basketball beat writer for SB Nation’s MaizenBrew in August 2023, and I have been writing and reporting on the two sports ever since.
Pre-Law
As an aspiring law student, I have taken numerous opportunities to gain hands-on legal experience as an undergraduate student. For two summers, I worked for Griboff Law, LLC in Rockville, MD as a legal assistant, assisting with drafting wills and estate plans for the elder law firm. In January 2024, I was hired as an intern in the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office in Ann Arbor, working in their domestic violence unit. It was here where I listened and transcribed hours of jail calls each week, and I wrote memos to the Prosecuting Attorneys involving, but not limited to, coercion and incrimination, resulting in motions to the court regarding bond, and admissible evidence to convict domestic violence offenders.
Politics
As a Washington, DC-area native, I have grown up immersed in politics, personally lobbying Members of Congress on social, technological, and economic issues. These experiences led me to pursue a political science degree to learn about the varying levels of politics and bring change to my peers’ everyday lives. During the Summer of 2024, I worked on Capitol Hill in Senator Ben Ray Luján’s Office, answering the phones and handling direct constituent inquiries, processing and responding to daily phone and digital constituent correspondence, assisting legislative staff with legislative action projects, researching current Senate legislation, and drafting PR statements with the Senator’s communications team.
