Gabe Walker attended Central Methodist University, where he majored in marine biology. After engaging in coral reef restoration and earning his undergraduate degree in biology in 2021, he decided to pursue further education in law school.

He interned with the KBA until Aug. 1, 2024. Gabe graduated from Washburn School of Law in May 2024. Please help us congratulate Sarah and Gabe on this outstanding achievement! 19
