The journey to success: Alexis Ecarma
As a third-year law student at Brandeis School of Law, Alexis Ecarma has her sights set on becoming an immigration lawyer, but the journey to unearth this passion was not straightforward. A senior year study-abroad program in Mexico integrated her philosophy, law and Spanish culture passions into a clear vocational trajectory. Her research thesis from this trip earned Alexis acceptance into UofL’s law school, where she is pursuing a law degree to serve the immigrant and refugee communities here in Louisville.
