On the NDLS Community:

“Because I entered law school at the young age of twenty-one, I grew up at Notre Dame. I attribute my growth to my class – the class of 2005. I got to meet so many people that I never would have met if I went to law school in my home state of California. I know more about geography, religion, history, and even football because of Notre Dame Law School. I think that that is what makes a school special: the people who you associate with everyday, and that is why Notre Dame is so special to me.”

On How NDLS Has Shaped my Professional Goals:

“Notre Dame opened my eyes to the legal world of public interest. Before beginning law school, I never thought I would want to work anywhere but a law firm. I got a job at a non-profit organization this summer, and I loved the experience. "
