Meet Inesh:
I was born and raised in Los Angeles and am proud to call this beautiful place home. After spending my undergraduate years in Chicago, I’m so glad to be back and out of the cold!
I originally intended to pursue a career in broadcast journalism, but pivoted once I realized it wasn’t for me. I chose law school after taking Constitutional Law in college, and plan on working in products liability defense after graduation.
Coming to UC Irvine Law has been hands-down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It completely shatters the traditional stereotype of a hyper-competitive, cutthroat environment. Not only have I made some of my best friends here, but the curriculum’s perfect balance of theoretical and practical training has prepared us incredibly well for this demanding profession.
Outside of school, I’m a diehard car enthusiast. On any given weekend, you can find me either at car shows, cruising SoCal’s idyllic canyons, working on my cars, or watching Formula 1 racing (many times all of the above). I also enjoy playing the electric guitar and following Major League Baseball.
It’s a massive understatement to call law school a daunting experience. I was in your shoes not too long ago. That’s why I’m more than happy to help you navigate both the admissions process and 1L year in any way I can, so please don’t hesitate to reach out!
