Rose Ray

My name is Rose Ray, and I am a current student at the University of Texas at Austin with a passion for law and justice. Working at the Capitol during the 89th session reinforced my strengths in legal environments and deepened my commitment to advocating for those who may not have a voice. I thrive in spaces where I can make a meaningful impact and am eager to continue expanding my experience in the field. Outside of academics, I love to dance and am a member of the Texas Pom team, where I’ve developed discipline, teamwork, and dedication.
