My ultimate goal is to earn my Juris Doctor and become a licensed attorney in Atlanta. I plan to:
1. Continue expanding my legal knowledge through internships and clerkships
2. Attend law school immediately after obtaining my associate degree
3. Specialize in areas where I can make a meaningful impact, such as civil rights or family advocacy
I am committed to upholding the highest ethical standards, promoting access to justice, and using my skills to serve individuals and communities in need. My passion for the law, combined with my academic achievements and hands-on experience, forms the foundation of my professional journey.
I am Sheilen Winters, a 26-year-old student from Hayti, Missouri, currently pursuing an Associate of Applied Science degree. I will graduate in March 2026. From an early age, I have been driven by a deep sense of justice and a curiosity about how laws shape our communities. My academic journey reflects my commitment to understanding the legal system in its many dimensions, and I look forward to continuing that journey as I work toward becoming a practicing attorney.
