I am a third-year undergraduate student on the pre-law track, currently a junior, and a first-generation Pakistani American. Being the first in my family to pursue higher education has been an important part of my journey and has shaped my work ethic and goals. My background has given me a strong appreciation for perseverance, responsibility, and the importance of advocating for others, which is what originally drew me to the legal field.
In addition to my studies, I work as a legal assistant at Bogin, Munns & Munns, a full-service law firm. In this role, I support attorneys with day-to-day case management, including drafting and organizing legal documents, communicating with clients, scheduling, and maintaining case files. Working closely with attorneys has given me hands-on experience and a realistic understanding of how a law firm operates. This experience has helped me connect what I learn in the classroom to real legal work and has reinforced my interest in pursuing law school after completing my undergraduate degree.
Outside of academics and work, I value personal growth and staying organized in a busy schedule. I enjoy reading, planning, and spending time with family when I’m not working or studying. I am especially interested in areas of law that focus on helping individuals and families, and I am motivated by the opportunity to eventually advocate for others in a professional and meaningful way. I look forward to continuing to grow both academically and professionally as I work toward a career in law
