A place to express, reflect, & share
Reflections is a space for personal essays, observations, and moments that invite pause. These pieces are not tied to policy or analysis—they’re simply thoughts shaped by experience, curiosity, and the ongoing work of understanding life. A quieter corner of the site, where meaning reveals itself one reflection at a time.
I couldn’t attend Coach Rodgers’ memorial in West Virginia, so that morning I did the one thing that seemed most appropriate. I went for a run.
I planned to begin William & Mary’s Master of Legal Studies program this fall. Instead, I deferred until January 2027. It felt like watching the bus I was supposed to be on drive away without me. The destination hasn’t changed. The departure date has.
The warmup is over. My Master of Legal Studies at William & Mary officially begins today, and with it begins a weekly journal about the classes, the challenges, and everything that happens along the way.
Accepted to William & Mary, but this is not about a credential. It's a reflection on why I am willingly surrendering 18 months of self-directed writing—where I’ve built an identity around emerging technology and AI governance—for a structured curriculum. It's a journey from valuing complete intellectual sovereignty to embracing a partnership that respects my existing knowledge while offering to deepen it. It is, finally, about finding the right fit.
