In terms of support and resources, what do you recommend to prospective students considering Northeastern Law?
One of the most crucial things you can do while considering a law school is to talk to current students. Whether it is by touring, or emailing a student ambassador, it will help you get a better feel of the school's environment and whether it is the best choice for you. You may also check to see if the type of law that you are interested in is offered in the form of courses and clinics, and if it is, finding a student involved in it to ask them more specific questions about their perspective and experiences.

What extracurricular activities have you been involved with at Northeastern?
I'm currently a member of Business Law Society, First-Generation Law Association and Women's Law Caucus.

What has been your favorite part about doing co-op while at NUSL? Can you describe the experience?
My most recent co-op was in house at L.E.K. Consulting, a global consulting firm. I was part of their corporate commercial contracts team where I got experience drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and finalizing contracts across all of L.E.K.’s consulting sectors. My co-op before that was at Justice Bridge Legal Center, a nonprofit with a mission to provide low bono legal services to the greater Boston community. There, I got litigation experience in so many different sectors of law, some of which included landlord/tenant, divorce, criminal, and family law. With these two co-ops, I was able to branch out so widely and discover what I really loved. I came into law school thinking that I was sure of what I wanted to pursue, but I quickly learned that a lot of what I thought I knew about law was actually so different in practice.
