🌟 Get to Know Our 2024 Scholars: Trinity Balla 🌟 We are excited to introduce one of our new scholars Trinity Balla, a student at University of California, Davis - School of Law (Fall 2024)! Originally from Oakland, CA, Trinity is passionate about bridging the worlds of law, science, and innovation through patent law. With a background in medicine and science, Trinity was drawn to patent law as a way to protect and encourage groundbreaking innovations in these fields. "I believe an inventor's hard work should be celebrated and protected," says Trinity. Her goal is to grow within this dynamic field and witness the cutting-edge inventions of tomorrow. When she's not immersed in law, Trinity channels her creativity into crocheting, sewing, and designing clothing. This love for fashion has also sparked her interest in fashion trademarks and protecting fashion designs and patterns. Trinity is inspired by her parents, both immigrants from Cameroon, Central Africa. Their perseverance and determination have shaped her outlook on life and continue to drive her towards her dreams. Please join us in welcoming Trinity to our community! #PatentLaw #Innovation #UCDavisLaw #FADIPL #GetToKnowOurScholars
