On Classmates and Friendships:

“I came to Notre Dame Law School because it provided me the top-notch resources and widespread career opportunities that I needed to begin to build my career in the legal profession. That said, one of the things I am most grateful for are the people I’ve met and the lifelong friendships I’ve formed during my three years here.”

On being a ND lawyer

“There is no way that I could have anticipated the profound impact Notre Dame Law School has had on strengthening my faith, enhancing my spiritual life, and showing me how I can be a servant to the Lord as an attorney. I will repeat a phrase I heard often in my Canon Law class, a call to action that will guide me in my legal career and my life: super omnia caritatem, “above all things, charity.”

On the NDLS experience:

“I primarily looked for three important characteristics in a law school at which I could thrive and succeed: a strong national reputation; a proud, helpful, and supportive alumni network; and a smaller student body so that I could really get to know fellow students and faculty members. Notre Dame Law School exceeded my expectations in all three.”
