Chad (he/him) is a second-year student at Yale Law School. Originally from a small town in west Michigan, Chad was an English major at Harvard (in Lowell House—the best house) and spent two years as a paralegal at a law firm in D.C. prior to law school.
At the law school, Chad is a board member of the Yale Defenders Society and the Capital Assistance Project, and a co-founder of the Yale Association for Small Claims Assistance. He also works in the Challenging Mass Incarceration Clinic and the Housing Clinic. He aspires to be a public defender after graduation.
Chad is an avid reader and writer of poetry. He is also a first-generation college student and loves connecting with other first-gen students. He is so excited to be at the best college at Yale!
