She was a lifelong resident of Bel Air, MD, where she graduated from C. Milton Wright High School. Ida attended Messiah College, where she played four years of Lacrosse and was captain of the team for her last two years. At Messiah, Ida received dual degrees: Political Science and Economics, graduating Magna Cum Laude. She then studied at Georgetown Law, where she received her Jurors Doctorate.
During her third year at Georgetown and after, Ida devoted much of her time representing youth in delinquency matters as a student attorney with the Georgetown Juvenile Justice Clinic. Ida also served as an Executive Articles Editor for the Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy and as an executive board member of the Space Law Society.
Ida loved to vacation in Michigan and in Ocean City, where she could watch the waves on the beach and spend time with her family and friends. She enjoyed expressing her competitive nature, whether it was dominating on the lacrosse field with her teammates and friends or beating her family and friends in board games. Ida liked to pass her time by listening to Taylor Swift with her sisters, keeping up with podcasts, and singing along to musicals. Ida loved family, friends, teammates, coworkers, and pretty much everyone she knew with tremendous passion, great humor and endless kindness.
