The best thing about Cumberland is the culture of healthy competition, hard work, and great people. Everyone at Cumberland, whether professors, faculty, or fellow students, wants you to succeed and will help in any way they can to help you do so.

What do you most enjoy about studying law in Birmingham? What do you like to do in Birmingham?

Being in law school in Birmingham is an incredible blessing. Birmingham can accurately be described as a "legal hub" with a broad spectrum of attorneys who practice a wide variety of law. There are so many directions you can go in the legal world, and Birmingham provides opportunities for them all.

If you could give any advice to your pre-law school self, what would you say?

The most important thing about Law School is the ability to put down the books and live a normal life outside of school. School- life balance will lead to much more success and higher grades than all your nights spent in the library. Also, Law school is hard. Embrace the hard parts and you will look back on them with a lot of joy after your first year.

What do you plan to do after graduation?

I plan on practicing in civil litigation in some capacity.
