Meet the class of 2025’s Ursula Davy!Ìý
Why did you choose to pursue a J.D.?Ìý
UD: I was always really interested in law especially as a kid, so after graduating from college and taking a few years to work I finally decided it was time. I’ve always been passionate about helping marginalized communities and my mom has been my biggest inspiration and motivator to advocate for the communities that raised me.Ìý
What has been your favorite part of law school so far?ÌýÌý
UD: Leading two affinity groups has been the most challenging and fulfilling part of law school for me. I was really involved as a 1L, so it means a lot to me to be able to continue that as a member of exec.ÌýÌý
What is your proudest accomplishment?Ìý
UD: Before starting law school, I helped my mom prep for her citizenship test, and I got to be her interpreter for the interview so to share in her success meant everything to me.Ìý
What was your profession prior to coming to Colorado Law?ÌýÌý
UD: I worked in advertising and marketing and then I transitioned to working in a dermatology office that specialized in cosmetic work and skin cancer surgeries. Wear sunscreen people!Ìý
What do you hope to do with your degree once you graduate?ÌýÌý
UD: I ultimately want to be able to give back and continue to provide support to women of color. I particularly want to continue my involvement and advocacy for victims of domestic violence.ÌýÌý
What are some opportunities you have taken advantage of here at Colorado Law?ÌýÌýÌý
Ìý±«¶Ù: I’m biased, but I think we have an incredible CDO here, and they’ve really helped me secure summer employment. Being a KWIP intern last year was a highlight as well!ÌýÌý
What are some of your hobbies outside of work/school?ÌýÌý
Ìý±«¶Ù: Like a true Colorado transplant, I’ve really enjoyed picking up hiking and snowboarding. I love to de-stress by reading, cooking or watching movies.Ìý
