Why did you choose UB School of Law? I am a lifelong member of the Buffalo community. After finishing my undergrad at UB's College of Arts and Sciences, it made sense to continue my legal education in the city I know and love.

One piece of advice for accepted students: Start and finish things early. Being proactive rather than reactive not only results in a better finished product, it also takes off some stress of the assignment.

Fun fact: I previously served as an Army Paralegal Specialist after high school.

Being proactive rather than reactive not only results in a better finished product, it also takes off some stress of the assignment.

Your family, friends, and on-campus communities are important support systems during your time at law school. My younger brother (right) is someone I know who has always got my back.
