I started out as a General Body member in the 2011-2012 academic year. All the meetings I have attended since then were led by enthusiastic Board members who were very welcoming. A large reason I am now pursuing a career in Law is because of meetings held by the Pre-Law Society. This year, I look forward to serving as the Pre-Professional Chair. I will be reaching out to various law firms and legal institutions on behalf of the Columbia Pre-Law Society. I am excited to work with both professionals outside of our university as well as fellow undergraduate students.
What are some of your "career highlights" and/or professional goals?
What are some of your "career highlights" and/or professional goals?
As a Political Science major, I have pursued both government related and legal positions. Last summer I worked with a successful City Council Campaign, where I got to see the various aspects of campaigning and city politics. This summer, I will be working with the U.S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. I am excited to work with dedicated lawyers and paralegals that represent one of the most respected public sector organizations in the country. I also plan to work with the New York State Attorney General’s Office this coming fall.
Do you have any advice for other pre-law students at Columbia?
I would really advise students to get involved with the Pre-Law Society. I can personally attest to being lost when it came to choosing a major and a career path when I started college. The Pre-Law Society offers an opportunity to get a feel for the field of law, as well as help all incoming students form meaningful friendships with Board members and fellow General Body members.
What's a fun fact about you?
Being from Florida, I never saw snow until my first year at Columbia!
