Mikaela Oliver is a second-year law student who will graduate in May 2026. Mikaela was born and raised just 40 miles southwest of Lubbock in Brownfield, TX. After high school, Mikaela attended Angelo State University in San Angelo, TX, where she graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Mass Media.
Following her time at Angelo State, Mikaela moved overseas to South Korea to teach English to elementary school students. Although she thoroughly enjoyed this experience and hopes to return, she realized there is no place like home. She hopes to remain in the Lubbock area for the foreseeable future.
Following her 1L year, Mikaela spent her summer clerking for Glasheen, Valles, and Inderman, LLC, a personal injury firm located in the heart of Lubbock. There, she conducted legal research, drafted demand letters, and got hands on experience interacting with clients.
In addition to serving as a Texas Tech Law Review Member, Mikaela will continue working with GVI Law throughout the school year, as well as serving on the board of the Organization of Women Law Students.
Outside of law school, Mikaela enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, painting at Clay Café, taking long walks, face masks, and catching up with friends.
