Driven by Curiosity,
Guided by Purpose

I'm Sebastian, a Law Student at St. John's University with a deep interest in law and a genuine desire to make a real impact. I'm driven by curiosity, purpose, and a commitment to growth, whether through internships in the court system, service trips like my recent experience in El Paso, or campus leadership.

My goal is to become the kind of lawyer who shows up with both knowledge and heart, someone who advocates, empowers, and leads with intention. I believe success is not defined by monetary gain, but by the positive impact you have on others.
