I’m an attorney.
I opened my own firm in 2016 after working at other law firms.
In a typical week, I am in court two-three days and in mediation one day a week. On the other days of the week, I spend my days in consultations and appointments with existing clients.
If you're considering English studies, you'll need to love it. You will be spending much more time on school than a lot of your friends with other majors. You also want to really consider your end goals. Most of my English major friends went on to get graduate degrees.
I’m looking for a positive attitude and an ability to handle stress.
I gained the important skills of being able to read quickly, to analyze deeply, and to write clearly. I also think that reading books helped me to be able to empathize with different people and their points of view.
It's been so many years since I was in college that it is difficult to point to a specific course, but I still fondly remember my professors and their help in becoming a stronger writer.
I earned a history minor. History plays an important role in understanding the basis of many of our laws.
