Maia Nasqidashvili

Aspiring Attorney · Pre-Law Student · Community Leader

About

I am a pre-law–focused high school student driven by a passion for justice, advocacy, and public service. From founding my school's pre-law club to gaining real-world experience alongside a practicing attorney, I have built an early foundation in legal research, argumentation, and the discipline of thinking clearly under pressure. My work in mock trial and the courtroom has sharpened my ability to construct arguments, anticipate counterarguments, and respond with confidence and speed.

Beyond the law, I am deeply rooted in my Georgian heritage and my community. As Vice President of my school's Georgian Club, I lead cultural programming and fundraising that supports autistic children and their families. I tutor students with special needs, compete and coach in tennis, and explore the science behind human behavior—an interest sparked by a Stanford summer neuroscience program that connects how the brain shapes decision-making and responsibility to the work of the law.
