SHELBY PARENT

I am currently a third-year law student at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where I receive the full tuition plus stipend Ethos of Excellence Scholarship. Before law school, I attended the University of Massachusetts Boston and then transferred to Bethel University, where I graduated in 2021. I majored in English and was a student-athlete in tennis.

I studied for the LSAT for a whole year and took it twice – eventually scoring a 170. As a recently diagnosed ADHD-er, I know how hard the LSAT and law school can be for those living in a world that’s not made for them. I’ve served as a Legal Writing Teaching Assistant and am currently a Senior Research Editor for the Florida Journal of International Law because I want to use my experiences to help other law students navigate the process. I also plan to be a law school professor because I’m passionate about moving law schools in a more inclusive direction.
