Law Clerk at Cullins & Grandy LLP
I am a third-year law student at Chapman University, Fowler School of Law in Orange, California, and will be sitting for the July 2022 Bar Examination. I have declared double emphases in Business Law and Alternative Dispute Resolution, and look forward to beginning a career in civil litigation. 

As a Mexican immigrant and first-generation law student, I am committed to serving underrepresented communities, and also to inspire Latinxs who seek a career in the legal field. With that being said, if you or anyone you know needs assistance through the undergraduate or law school application process, please do not hesitate to connect with me.
