I am especially grateful to Mr. Saadian and his team for selecting me for this prestigious scholarship. I am in my first year at Berkeley Law, and my goal is to become an attorney advocating for changes in laws and public policies regarding sexual assault and victims&#8217; rights. Receiving this scholarship sheds light on a problem so often ignored and puts a strong voice and financial backing behind the belief that the situation is dire but not hopeless \u2014 a heartening and much needed support for victims of assault.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In spite of her heavy workload as both an undergraduate at <span class=\"xn-org\">Washington University<\/span> in <span class=\"xn-location\">St. Louis<\/span> and now Berkeley Law, Ashley has also found time to volunteer at Heart of <span class=\"xn-location\">Los Angeles<\/span> (HOLA) where she mentored middle school girls and CoachArt, an organization that works to improve the lives of chronically ill children through art and athletics.<\/p>\n<p>About Wilshire Law Firm:<br \/>Wilshire Law Firm has been meeting the needs of injury and discrimination victims for eleven years and counting.
