26 Lessons I've Learned by 26 | My Birthday Letter

If it’s Thanksgiving and Holiday Season, you know it’s time for my birthday. And what a month November was! How is it already almost December?! This year I turned 26 which means it’s time to shop for health insurance and reflect back on my quarter life crisis year. 25 was a whirl wind, lots of ups, so many downs and why did I do this to myself moments and some really incredible memories and…

I’ve been really in my head lately and I wanna share a little about what’s going on because I’ve always done that and I know I’m not alone in this: (Modified and expanded from my IG Reel dated June 29, 2023) I feel like I’m in a never ending series of realizations, growth and healing. It’s both a beautiful thing and also very scary. But here’s your weekly gentle reminder (follow me on IG…

Mistakes I Made While Preparing for the Bar Exam

If you would have told me a year ago that I would be creating content about the bar exam or law school even I would have said no way. But as a natural born sharer, reflecting on my bar prep experience and my time in law school over the last year I have realized that the lessons I learned are really transformative and I should share them to help others because maybe if I had seen the videos I am…

Quarter Life Crisis | My Birthday Letter

Quarter Life Crisis | My Birthday Letter

What a year 24 was!! I had no idea this time last year that I would be where I am today. My only goal was to graduate and have a job that made me happy, to be back home in Miami and to have really solid friendships. I can definitely say I achieved those goals but it was a journey to say the least. 24 was the year I graduated from law school, with a GPA even I’m not sure who I achieved after a…

Unapologetically Pink - 4 Lessons We Can All Learn from Elle Woods

Unapologetically Pink – 4 Lessons We Can All Learn from Elle Woods

This is a paper I wrote for my Images in the Law class in law school and I’ve been wanting to share! With more attention on females and lawyers going off on their own path, on their own terms, I thought now was a good time, enjoy! At first glance, Legally Blonde is a superficial movie with a glamorized take on law school. Only one of those things is true. As many movies, particularly about law…

Post Law School Grad Life: What’s Next

Post Law School Grad Life: What’s Next

I can’t believe it’s already been 3 1/2 weeks since I graduated from law school. Truly I don’t think it was going to hit me until I got grades back to confirm I did indeed graduate and until I get my diploma in the mail. I’m still waiting on the diploma but I did in fact graduate and with the highest GPA I’ve ever had at any point in law school so I’m very proud of myself. But it still hasn’t…

I officially graduated from law school!!! I truly never knew I was capable of all that I have accomplished in the last 3 years and I am so beyond grateful for the people I have met during my time in law school, in Tennessee and at UTK Law. I often get asked if I regret coming to UTK for law school and I don’t, it was the best decision for me to come here even knowing I always was going back…

Why We Should Never Settle

Why We Should Never Settle

We keep hearing about why we shouldn’t settle in pretty much every relationship podcast or on Tik Tok but I actually think this advice applies in more than just relationships. In friendships, in our career, in life in general, we should never settle because its basically saying we know we deserve more but we’re just gonna accept what’s right in front of us because its easier. If you’ve been…

My Daily Non Negotiables

My Daily Non Negotiables

At the beginning of the school year I wrote a post all about how I set myself up for a successful week because I am always getting asked how I navigate everything on my plate. It has been a really popular post and I love sharing it periodically for anyone new to my community who asks how I manage law school, part time jobs, being a creator + podcast host and of course taking time for myself. As…
