University of North Carolina, BA in Psychology

I have a passion for international wildlife law and conservation. I took many biology and ecology courses in college. IELP and international environmental law ties in to this study and passion. I came to Lewis & Clark Law School for IELP. There is no other experience in school where you can build these valuable skills. This year we will be attending the CITES conference and I have the chance to enhance my skills and knowledge of wildlife law and trade. I hope someday I can say I helped conserve species like tigers and IELP will have been a crucial first step in this goal.

Global Law Alliance for Animals and the Environment is located in Wood Hall on the Law Campus.
