Why did you choose to apply to the Lott Institute and what was the appeal of the Lott program?
I chose to apply to the Lott Leadership Institute because the program teaches students how to become effective leaders in practice, which is crucial to both professional and personal success. Most notably, I was drawn to the PPL program’s multifaceted nature, as the skills it provides allow students to pursue virtually any professional path, including careers in law, healthcare, business, economics, and more.

What are your career aspirations?
After Ole Miss, I plan to go to law school and use my degrees to advocate for social change—either through appellate litigation, where I can challenge systemic issues in court, or through policy advocacy, where I can represent underrepresented groups and create meaningful change from the ground up.
