I am a rising 2L at the Northeastern University School of Law, and completed my undergraduate studies at Boston University in 2019, and recently completed my first year of law school. During my time at BU, I was able to take a diverse set of courses due to the stark difference between my major and minor (Psychology and Business Administration), and the flexibility my prior credits gave me to take several electives. As I reflect on the skills and experiences these courses have given me, one that stood out most was research. I have chosen to create a simple platform in which I've compiled research papers I've written to serve as a supplement to my résumé, so that my claims about my academic experience can be evaluated or verified by my actual work. In addition to undergraduate research, I have added some legal writing samples from my first-year course in legal research and writing.

This was a persuasive open memo completed for the first-year legal research and writing course, in which I did research on case law and secondary sources to argue for the defense in a hypothetical case based off the "Making a Murderer" defendant to have his incriminating statements to the police suppressed. The jurisdiction under the fact pattern supplied was Massachusetts.
This was my first open memo during law school, for which I did background research on applicable case law and secondary sources in order to weigh the direction that the case should go in based on precedent and the facts supplied.

This was a scientific research study I completed for Human Population Genetics, a biology course. The purpose was to identify a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) that I had reason to believe was linked to expression of a specific trait, and use statistical analysis software and scientific literature to attempt to prove or refute my claim.
The purpose of this paper was to select a broad aspect of the U.S healthcare system and analyze its pros, cons, and opportunities for growth, taking into account the interests of various stakeholders.
