What was the most rewarding part of being on the BLSA Executive Board?

The most rewarding part of being on the BLSA Executive Board has been developing relationships with my classmates and colleagues. I have enjoyed working with and getting to know my classmates through various projects and social events. It has also been deeply rewarding to advocate for meaningful changes alongside my fellow e-board members that will benefit not only my current classmates, but also future UVA BLSA students.

How did your participation in the BLSA Executive Board shape you as a Black professional?

Serving on the BLSA Executive Board has strengthened my networking and leadership skills. My participation has also given me access to an incredible network of successful Black lawyers and invaluable resources, both academic and social.
