An early inspiration
In her first semester at Rider University, Amanda Steele took an introduction to political science class, which quickly shaped her ambitions. As a first-generation student, Steele completed a total of five internships while on the mock trial team — now she’s preparing to enter Harvard Law School with a plan to practice civil litigation upon graduation.
My goal is to be a compassionate and confident advocate for someone going through a difficult time.
