Successful Partnership With Stanford Law School
Recently I had the opportunity to apply my deep study of philosophy and partner with Stanford Law in a critical civil rights case.

Some Useful Info About Me
I have always been a deep thinker and avid reader, two traits which drew me to the study of philosophy. I recently utilized these skills whilst completing two college courses in philosophy—one from MIT, and the other Harvard. I relied on the same discipline required to read and annotate the entirety of "John Locke's Second Treatise of Government," Kant's "Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals" (Extended list) to help me maintain a consistent workout regimen since fifth grade, earning me a school record in track, and helped me win a Marine Corps pull up contest (currently, I'm up to 23 pull ups). I also have a deep passion for the art of music and have played guitar ever since I saw it in "Coco" in 2018. Now I mainly play Spanish songs and classical songs on guitar. I mostly listen to classical music, movie soundtracks, and R&B/soul.
