Summary

I am a hardworking and extremely driven college student looking for some work experience at a law firm. Because I am taking my LSAT this summer and applying to law school in the fall, it will give me a massive advantage if I have work experience with a law firm prior to submitting my applications—not only will it be beneficial for my applications, but it will also be crucial for me to be exposed to this environment in order to better understand the future that I am planning for. I bring strong public speaking, critical thinking, reading comprehension, and collaborative skills. I grew up in a professional environment because my parents are self-employed real estate appraisers who work from home. With that being said, I understand the importance of confidentiality in the workplace and have experience with scanning and filing confidential papers.
