About Lily Mahdavian

I am a junior at Boston University pursuing a degree in Psychological Brain Sciences and preparing to attend law school after my graduation in January 2026. With a passion for advocacy, particularly in disability law, I am committed to addressing inequities and fostering inclusivity through effective legal solutions. My experiences span dynamic work environments and structured academic research. At Aritzia in the Prudential Center, I’ve excelled in a fast-paced sales environment, developing strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills. My roles as a student athletic trainer for the WNBA’s Chicago Sky and a rehabilitation aide at Athletico Physical Therapy provided hands-on experience in health and rehabilitation, emphasizing teamwork and patient-focused care. I have contributed to research projects including lab-based studies at Kenyon College and social psychology research at Boston University, enhancing my analytical thinking and understanding of human behavior—skills I plan to build upon in law school. Bilingual in English and Spanish and with travel to 26 countries, I bring a global perspective and adaptability to every endeavor. My background as an NCAA Division soccer athlete at Kenyon College for two years instilled resilience, teamwork, and discipline that continue to guide my personal and professional growth. My ambition to attend law school aligns with my dedication to advocacy and disability law, and I am eager to pursue a legal career that champions fairness, accessibility, and opportunity for all.
