Future Plans

After graduation, I will be clerking for Judge Diane Sykes on the Seventh Circuit in Milwaukee, WI. Post-clerkship, I plan to return to Washington, D.C. to work for a firm doing litigation & appellate work. Eventually, I hope to be able to spend a few years working in a U.S. Attorney’s office.

On the NDLS Education:

“One of the reasons I love Notre Dame is that it fosters an honest dialogue between students and professors. The professors don’t shy away from difficult topics; instead, they are willing to explore the deeper questions of policy, philosophy and faith which underlie many points of law. My fellow students also bring an impressive richness and depth to the classroom discussion.”
