of the Trine University Law Scholar Award from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney
School of Law for the 2020-2021 academic year.

In 2018, she completed an internship with the Beacon Fellowship, which provides students with higher-level, direct consulting experience in overseas settings. Perkins worked in Rome during her fellowship.
