Meet Jake:
I never thought I would go to UC Irvine Law. During the admissions process, I realized that UC Irvine was one of the friendliest places I had the opportunity to visit. From admissions ambassadors to professors and even other students, everyone at UC Irvine Law created a welcoming environment that fostered learning inside and outside the classroom. As an admissions ambassador, I hope to extend the same energy and courtesy that I experienced when choosing UC Irvine Law for my degree.
I have a background in Economics, College Debate, and Athletics, and I have lived most of my life in San Diego. I am President of the Federal Bar Association at UCI Law, a 2L representative for the Student Bar Association, Alumni and Jobs chair for the Entertainment and Sports Law Society, and the Westlaw student representative on campus. I would love to help connect you with any of the many resources UC Irvine Law has for students. UC Irvine creates an environment that allows students to thrive, even in the face of adversity. I hope to see you in the class of 2028!
