Hello everyone! I am interested in pursuing a career in the legal field because I want to help others and contribute in some way to changing our society for the better. I have been fortunate enough to see a lawyer in action, and their passion for their work and the community made me appreciate the field and ultimately led me to start my own path in it.
I am interested in the legal field as I want to help underrepresented and marginalized families and individuals. Coming from an immigrant household, the system in which we live in, works against us—stripping POC from rights and certain achievements. As a first-gen Latina, I hope to break these barriers and help others gain their voice.
I'm interested in the legal field because I see it as a proactive way to influence change, especially through policy work. My experiences working in schools and with students, combined with how institutions have impacted me and others, have fueled my desire to become an advocate. This motivation drives my pursuit of a career where I can be part of change and lead with intentionality.
"I am interested in the legal field because I really want to be able to help tiers and I also feel that the legal field is often changing and I want to be a part of the change that is occurring"
I am interested in pursuing a career in law because From a young age, I was exposed to many immigration lawyers who tried to help us navigate my dad's immigration status. Witnessing the struggles and injustices my family endured ignited a passion within me to fight for those who, like my father, are often marginalized and voiceless. This personal experience has profoundly shaped my commitment to advocacy and justice, driving me to pursue a career where I can make a difference.
"I am interested in the legal field because I want to support underprivileged communities and do my part in ensuring the system we live under is fair to everyone"
Social Chair
Gerardo Medina is passionate about entering the legal field to represent and advocate for the Mexican community, which makes up less than 10% of legal professionals in California. Coming from a background where he experienced both cultural pride and the challenges of being an underrepresented minority, Gerardo is determined to use his legal career to address inequalities and bring justice to those who often go unheard. He envisions being a voice for his people, striving to create a more equitable and inclusive legal system.

"The legal profession has always interested me because it struck me as a way to advocate for those who have been undermined and discriminated against laws and rules originally meant to benefit and not belittle. Law, to me in this way, is a source where I can fight and defend injustices against human rights policy where people feel like they don't have a voice. On top of this, as law seems like a complicated place of abstract terms, I want to further explore the way to better understand and communicate the legal field to be more accessible"
I am interested in the legal field because I want to create positive change within a system that has historically and disproportionately effected communities of color, like that of the Latinx community. I am interested in various paths including/related to, criminal justice reform, indigenous water and land rights, and immigration rights. Ultimately, I hope to aid in uplifting communities that have been negatively impacted by the current systems in place and face additional barriers, like limited resources, preventing easy access to legal representation.
