“I am incredibly honored to receive the 2025 Outstanding Law Student Award from the National Association of Women Lawyers. Serving in leadership through UTK Law Women has been the highlight of my law school experience. My passion for female empowerment began while attending an all-girls high school and has only grown stronger through college and law school, where I’ve been fortunate to learn from and lead alongside so many inspiring women. I’m deeply grateful to my professors at the Winston College of Law, as well as the mentors, family, and friends who have supported me along the way. As I begin my legal career as a transactional associate at Baker Donelson this fall, I am excited to continue championing women and creating space for the next generation of female leaders.”
