I know what it takes to build a competitive law school application because I've lived the full arc of it: from choosing the right extracurriculars as an undergrad to successfully navigating two separate law school admissions cycles, first as an initial applicant and then as a transfer student. I studied political science at BYU, where I balanced a packed extracurricular schedule that ranged from cheerleading and Political Review to serving as an officer for Women in Politics, all while completing a global marketing study abroad and several legal and political internships. That experience taught me firsthand how to build a narrative that ties together leadership, service, and academic interests into something admissions committees actually remember. I also understand transitions and tough decisions better than most coaches, because I've made them myself. I started law school at BYU, then transferred to Texas Tech Law to support my husband's medical training, and I'm about to begin there this fall. Along the way, I served on the executive board for the Government and Politics Club and the Federalist Society, and completed a government relations internship with Intermountain Health during my 1L year. Whether you're an undergrad trying to figure out which experiences and activities will strengthen your application, or navigating a major life decision like a transfer or school change alongside your admissions strategy, I can help you make choices that are authentic to you and compelling to law school admissions committees.
