Hello, I am Gabriela Escutia, a senior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I major in Political Science with a minor in History, and am in the pre-law track. I am involved with other pre-law organizations to foster a sense of community and have a support system in the legal field. I participated in a research study with a professor to get involved in a high-academic environment while working hands-on with new and exciting work. This enhanced my ability to multitask, work efficiently, and improve communication skills with figures of authority to keep a suitable work environment.
As a first-generation student, I work part-time while being a full-time student. Though strenuous, I strive to push myself in LSAT studying with pre-law friends. I have recently been accepted to the Pathways to Success Program at UIUC, which I am excited to participate in to bolster my networking and professional skills.
My personal hobbies include reading, realistic sketching of portraits, and fashion. I consider myself a creative person inside and out.
