Legal Profiles

Politics Undergraduate Student at New York University 

I am an MLK Jr. Scholar and 2024 Social Impact Changemaker Fellow at NYU with a strong background in educational equity, youth advocacy, and mental health accessibility. I have conducted research on affirmative action and the ethical implications of using standardized test scores as a metric for college admissions, which I presented at both Harvard and NYU. My current research focuses on the effects of structural factors in college admissions on equity across race and income, including donor influence, early decision guidelines, affirmative action trends, magnet schools, and the return of standardized testing. I currently serve as the Digital Civics Fellow at #HalfTheStory, where I help co-design the Digital Civics Academy: a summer program for teens focused on digital wellness and the responsible tech movement. I plan to pursue graduate studies in education policy or public policy, with the goal of eventually working in policy development to help create policies that support more equitable and inclusive educational systems.

Attends Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University in Tallahassee, FL

I am a broadcast journalism student at Florida A&M University. After graduating I plan to attend law school and earn my Juris Doctorate. I aspire to become a family and immigration attorney advocating and defending people in underrepresented communities. Through my course work and internship experiences, I’ve learned more about the intersection between communication and the legal field. I plan to continue building on these skills as I advance in my education and career.

Communications, Research, and Law

Kristina Madrazo is a Juris Doctor scholar. She completed her education in the Philippines—earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Communication with the distinction of Cum Laude at the Ateneo de Manila University, under a full scholarship. Impassioned about education, health sciences, and public policy, she intends to be a force for good in the legal sphere.

Global Business & Law Scholar

I am the recipient of my school’s IB Business Management HL Excellence Award for being the top-performing Business student and currently serve as Head of the Business and Law Department in the Space Economy Society, which I co-founded as the Dubai branch of the original London-based society. The club explores the intersection of space with fields like law, business and sustainability, and has hosted notable guest speakers such as Helene Huby, CEO of The Exploration Company. I’ve also completed a Yale University online law course focused on legal reasoning and foundational concepts in the U.S. legal system. I am an aspiring Business and Law student with a strong interest in corporate law, governance, and innovation. I currently contribute to The Aziz Law Journal, where I write about topics at the intersection of law, economics, and global affairs, with a focus on issues such as corporate responsibility, climate policy, and emerging technologies.

West Virginia University

I will have my BA in Journalism and BS in English in December of 2025. Following my undergraduate, I plan to pursue entertainment law at a credible university. I plan to contribute to protecting children and media makers in a growing digital world. It is my goal to work as a paralegal or paid intern during law school. 

Aspiring J.D Candidate

A student who is deeply passionate about law and political science. I am an intern working under a Connecticut State senator, where I assist her with legislative research and other projects. I am the president of the local Model Congress chapter and have competed in international Model Congress conferences. I plan to major in political science and economics in college and ultimately pursue a J.D. in order to become a lawyer. 

Finance Major

Hello! I am Shaista Sayed, an aspiring corporate attorney. I’m passionate about the intersection of law, business, and finance, and I aim to use legal strategy to support ethical innovation and financial transparency. In high school, I interned with a marketing firm, participated and won every mock trial I competed in, tutored in various subjects, and competed in Academic Decathlon for four years—earning top honors in essay and overall finisher. I’ve also conducted research on campaign finance and fintech mergers, which deepened my interest in policy reform and regulatory law. Currently, I’m focused on developing my legal writing through internships and publications while learning more about the finance world. 

Secretary of the Event Committee in the Turkish Student Senate

I am a high school student with a fascination for how systems legal, social or psychological truly operate beneath their surface. I serve as Secretary of the Event Committee in the Turkish Student Senate and take part in the drafting of a policy report destined for Parliament. I hold active roles in my city’s Youth Council and two national youth-led initiatives, where I navigate leadership through both structure and intuition. My passion for Olympic archery, chess, and puzzles isn’t about competition it’s about control, focus, and anticipating what others miss. I’m especially drawn to criminal law and crime analysis, not for justice, but for the opportunity to understand motive, manipulate outcomes within the rules, and master the narrative. I aim to build a career that combines observation with influence where precision matters more than noise, and strategy beats intention.

Aspiring J.D Candidate

Social Studies has consistently been my strongest academic interest, serving as the foundation for my passion for law and politics. I have developed a deep understanding of both U.S. and world history, with a particular interest in the systems of governance, international relations, and historical events that shape global affairs.

I attended public school until 2020 and completed my high school education through the Acellus program, which provided the flexibility to further cultivate my academic interests. This educational path has reinforced my commitment to pursuing a career in the legal or political field, where I can apply this knowledge to contribute meaningfully to society.

Student at University of Wisconsin

I’m a student in the Writing and Applied Arts program at the Green Bay extension of the University of Wisconsin. Writing has always been my passion and my preferred method of communication. While I am not planning to pursue a career in law I enjoy researching topics that are new to me and sharing my findings with others. It is important for me to stay informed about the legal landscape of the country I live in and the world in general. I have been developing my skills in writing and editing for different sorts of publications; I hope to put those skills into use when I finish my degree.
