What brought you to Crag?: Crag works on providing legal representation to elevate Tribal voices and underrepresented groups with environmental concerns, the groups I hope to represent after graduation. When I chose to attend law school, it was my priority to ensure generations to come will be able to use, rely on, and enjoy all of the precious natural resources we have today. Crag Law will help me do exactly this.
What are your environmental/legal interests?: Climate Change, Wildland Fire, Water, Public Lands, and Tribal
What will your work focus on while at Crag?: Broad Array
