I was born and raised in Austin, Texas. After winning a mock trial in English class in sixth grade, I knew I wanted to be a lawyer. In eighth grade I discovered intellectual property law through a career-search project. As the daughter of an electrical engineer, I grew up around circuits, and I knew that a technical degree was required to become a patent prosecutor so I obtained a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Texas A&M, and now I am beginning my last year at Baylor Law School.
