NON-ACADEMIC WORK EXPERIENCE



I have worked as a legal consultant, where I co-authored a national analysis of expert testimony case law used by many private law firms across the country; a (summer) litigation associate at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, where I researched and initiated a successful strategy in obtaining pardon for death row inmate as well as worked in complex commercial litigation; a summer law associate at various firms writing briefs and motion papers in medical malpractice and product liability suits and working on corporate matters; and a computer programmer and analyst writing and implementing software for the marketing division of a large international company. I’ve also sold car insurance over the phone, stocked the shelves at Woolworth, and served soda at a roller rink, all while enrolled in a national program for gifted youth.
