What inspired you to pursue a law degree?
CP: Growing up with a disability set me apart, but learning about the Civil Rights movement made me feel included and showed me that laws can mend injustice. This passion drew me to the law and public service. I want to use the law to further the rights of Americans and forward their interests.
What are your hobbies outside of work and school?
CP: I love to travel and recently visited some museums in Washington D.C. I love podcasts. My favorites are "You're Wrong " and "If Books Could Kill." Growing up in Colorado, I also enjoy skiing and hiking. Recently, I re-picked up Skeeball, a fun throwback to my childhood.
Why did you choose Colorado law?
CP: As a Coloradan, I am well-adapted to Colorado’s unique culture and spirit of adventure. Colorado Law shares my values of scholarship, diversity, and public service. I want to attend law school because I am eager to learn more about our legal system and see how it applies to advancing the prosperity of Americans. Obtaining my Juris Doctor from Colorado Law would be the best way I can make a difference.
What are you most looking forward to this upcoming academic year?
CP: I know it will be a challenging year ahead, but I'm excited to get to my peers at Colorado Law and welcome the year ahead together. I am also excited to hit the books and give my brain a workout!
