My name is Linnette Fermin and I use she/her pronouns. I was born in manhattan and currently live in manhattan. I spent my whole life in manhattan but moved around about 7 times. My major is law and paralegal studies and I will move on to law school once I graduate. I started to gain interest in law during the pandemic after constantly watching the news and that’s where my passion for law grew. I want to focus specifically on Environmental law, I’m very passionate about natural resources preservation, the clean air act, etc. When I’m not in school I work as an assistant teacher in special education. Some of my hobbies are traveling, reading, watching football, and hiking. 

Here is a picture of my dog, his name is Azul. He’s been with me since I was 12 and he’s been my emotional support for the past few years. He helped me become more active just by going outside more, and hiking he’s a great companion, and because I go outside so much I’ve connected more with nature. The environment plays an important role in my emotional state, This is one of the reasons why I want to mainly focus on environmental law in the future.

I look forward to meeting all of you!
