Additional info & updates

From a very small Indiana town. I am actually going to write a diversity statement for a few schools on that point. I think that a small town midwestern background would add diversity to the classes of such schools as USC and UCLA. Strong interest in intellectual property law in the life sciences/nanotechnology.

Didn't decide on law until I pursued a few other career paths. Every look into a new career path made me realize that it is dictated or influenced by the laws pervasive influence. I am always seeking the most efficacious way to enact change, and I came to realize working with the law has the potential to enact change on a fundamental level.
