While attending the University of  Illinois, I have enjoyed many opportunities to learn  about the environment while developing an interest in the law. Hands-on  experiences in the lab, field work across the state, and lectures from leading  researchers engaged my mind and captured my interest. Studying ecology and the  world’s environmental problems has instilled in me a deep apPciation for the  environment as well as a desire to learn how attorneys utilize regulatory  systems to protect it. Participating in an undergraduate research project on  climate change, interning in a methylmercury lab, and taking an environmental  law class have inspired me to attend law school to pursue my interest in  learning how the law can address environmental problems.
