Why did you choose to apply to the Lott Institute and what was the appeal of the Lott program?
The appeal of the Trent Lott Leadership Institute was the opportunity to grow as both a leader and a person while being surrounded by motivated and service-oriented students. I was also drawn to the program’s emphasis on mentorship, professional development, and making a difference both on campus and the greater Oxford area.

What are your career aspirations?
Following my undergraduate education, I plan to attend law school and pursue a career in environmental law. I am interested in working within the oil and energy industry to help companies navigate environmental regulations while promoting responsible and sustainable practices. I hope to become an environmental law attorney who helps balance industry growth with environmental responsibility.
