My Journey:

Benjamin completed his baccalaureate degree in English at the University at Buffalo and earned a subsequent master's degree in English Education at the University at Buffalo Graduate School of Education. Originally aiming to teach, he now guides aspiring law students, offering candid advisement and dispelling misconceptions about the legal field. As a queer, first-generation student, he understands the unique challenges faced by those without a legal background and is dedicated to helping them succeed.

With three years of experience in law school admissions, Benjamin oversees the 3+3 Accelerated Degree Program and has transformed it through additional programming, organization, and communications. Additionally, he directs the various events hosted by the Office of Admissions and is passionate about fostering a sense of belonging for all.

Fun Fact: Benjamin once read over one hundred books in a year and has also been published twice in literary magazines.

Advice and Tips for Prospective Students:

Be intentional with each document and question submitted as a part of the application process. Think of it as an interview for a rewarding position- what will the committee find interesting, and where are there blanks or areas for improvement? We want to hear your story, so take the time to shape it in an effective voice that illustrates any adversity, passion, or experience that makes you stand out! If you’re experiencing difficulties, schedule an appointment with me, and let’s see if Law School, or UB Law, is the right fit for you.
