I AM SEIZING EVERY OPPORTUNITY. While I am a quadruple major in justice studies, sociology, Spanish and women’s studies, I am also a proud member the nation’s first Latina Sorority, Lambda Theta Alpha. I am pretty busy, but I love it. And that’s what I love about the University of Idaho. There are so many ways to get involved, and so many different things to do as student and as a global citizen. I have a lot of interests and passions, and I’m planning on putting them all together in a career after law school.
