Since I was a child, the law has protected me and spoken on my behalf. The circumstances I have faced throughout my life have provided the foundation for my firmly held conviction that just laws are a protection for the weak and a voice for those who cannot speak.
When I was 4, my father took my mother’s life before ending his own. Without my parents, I was helpless and defenseless. The legal system intervened to make sure I was placed with family for care. Over the next 9 years, I experienced every form of abuse imaginable, which eventually led to my introduction to the foster system. As I navigated this turmoil, I became aware of the role the legal system could play in offering structure and safety. My introduction to the courts came early, I began to see that law was not just about rules—it was a framework that had the potential to bring order to a chaotic life. When I was 14, I asked my court-appointed attorney for emancipation. That was when I met Laura, my attorney, who, with her arm in a cast, joked about how her broken limb mirrored my broken reasoning. Yet, she saw my struggle and explained that the law balances structure with compassion. She convinced me that, while emancipation was not the answer, there may be another solution. With her guidance, I was placed with my aunt and uncle from my mother’s side. It was during this period that I started to see law not just as a set of rules, but as a tool that could shape lives. This growing awareness of the power of law planted the first seeds of my desire to pursue a career in it.
However, my new life with my aunt and uncle was far from the nurturing environment I had hoped for. Abuse reemerged, and I felt trapped in a dysfunctional cycle. Even though I knew that as a minor I had no legal means to escape, I held on to the hope that my 18th birthday would bring the freedom I longed for. When that day finally came, I left their home. My newfound legal freedom ignited in me a sense of empowerment. No longer solely focused on my personal escape, I was now determined to help others navigate both the freedoms and limitations of the law.
The legal freedom I now had allowed me to reconnect with my best friend, Deniza Toma, and her family, who became my sanctuary. They offered me something I had never experienced: unconditional love and support. Gaining 5 sisters who believed in me and pushed me to grow and helped me heal and find purpose. Their encouragement reinforced my desire to pursue law, and I began to see how my own experiences of instability fueled my passion of advocating for others. This realization grew with each passing year, as I continually learned how the law could protect the vulnerable and restore order to fractured lives.
I took my first real step toward law when I stood in the Law Office of Nathaniel Nickele for my interview. Nat taught me that the heart of all law was simply to love your neighbor as yourself. That is how he practices. He uses the law to bring relief to clients in despair. He always tells me that I have it in me to change lives and give hope. In the past, when I responded that I could not picture myself doing the work he does, he told me, “There are two things that stop people from doing great things: one, lack of confidence, and two, not knowing where to start.” He began trusting me to directly work with clients. I was terrified but his constructive support allowed me to find my own way to use the law to help. Slowly, I began to see that he was right—I do have it in me! I began to recognize that a future in law was within my reach, and that my personal experience with instability drives my deep commitment to advocating for others. Growing up in a world defined by disorder and loss, I had long been searching for hope and meaning. Looking back, I see that the law has always been the force that offered me a way forward, even when I did not realize it. The law was there at every step. When I was orphaned, it found me a home. When I was hurt, it took me to safety. When I needed guidance, it gave me a counselor and advocate. As an adult, it gave me freedom and a mentor.
Regent University is the ideal place for me to continue this journey. As a center of Christian thought and action, Regent offers an excellent education grounded in a biblical perspective that resonates deeply with my values. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I developed a passion for the law, guided by professors who nurtured my understanding of its potential to serve others. For me, Regent represents not just the next step, but a community where I can further hone my advocacy skills while nurturing my spiritual growth.
The mission of Regent’s law school—to educate and train excellent lawyers, empower students with the Holy Spirit, and pursue true justice—mirrors my calling to love my neighbor through the law. I am eager to immerse myself in this community of like-minded individuals, engaging in Christian legal thought and practice. The law has been my constant—a force transforming chaos into order. As I continue this journey at Regent, I look forward to growing into the advocate I am meant to be and serving others with the values instilled in me through this exceptional program.
