Professor Pinard has been a constant source of guiding light and inspiration for me throughout law school. He has encouraged me to continue the good fight and to never be afraid of a challenge. I am so thankful to always have him in my corner and know that even though my law school days are ending, our relationship will continue to grow in the years to come,

Write a message.
What a wild ride this has been. Thank you Maryland Carey Law for helping me to grow as a student, advocate, and person. Specific thanks to Baltimore Outreach for Student Success, the Moot Court Board, and my clinic family for constantly reminding me why I came to law school in the first place; and to my friends, family, professors, and fellow public defenders for the continued support to always fight the good fight.

Class of 2020 – our journey is only just beginning, and I can’t wait to see where the future takes us.
