“I am deeply honored to receive the 2026 NAWL Outstanding Law Student Award, a recognition that reflects my commitment to fostering community and advancing women in the law through my role as President of Fordham Law Women (FLW). Serving FLW for the past two years has reinforced my belief in the transformative power of women-led mentorship and programming. Following graduation, I will be joining Sidley Austin LLP to practice corporate law, and I look forward to connecting with and championing women in the legal profession throughout my career.”
