Aristotle said, “Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them.”
I am incredibly proud of the honors, awards, and scholarships I have received during my time as an undergraduate student and as a law student, but I am more proud in the hard work and the sacrifices I made to earn them. Please read about my honors and awards below:
