With commencement just around the corner on Saturday, May 14, CWRU School of Law is featuring a few of our outstanding graduating students.
What is your favorite memory of CWRU School of Law?
My favorite memory is when I started an improv acting group where I facilitated improv exercises and scenes with my fellow classmates as a means to stretch our creative thinking muscles, de-stress, and have a bit of fun. (Sadly, it never returned post-COVID shutdown).
Why did you choose CWRU School of Law?
I chose CWRU School of Law because of the geographical breadth of its alumni network, the "easy approach" atmosphere between students and faculty/staff, and the great scholarship opportunities.
What advice would you give to incoming first-year law students?
Have fun, make friends, and build your network; but when it comes to your education and career, keep your head down and focus on what makes you happy, what study methods work for you, and only worry Βι¶ΉΣ³» your own measure of success. Try not to get caught up in how others are progressing or performing (you don't have time for it anyway!)
Favorite course?
I couldn't possibly pick a single favorite course, but here are the top five (in no particular order): Law of the Music Industry, Negotiations in Sports Management, Trademark Law, Mass Media Law and Policy, and Copyright Law.
What are your post-graduation plans?
I plan to study for, take, and pass the bar and then I plan to begin my career as an attorney in sports & entertainment law (ideally focused on soft IP and transactional matters).
Organizations & Achievements
Throughout my law school career, I received three CALI Excellence for the Future Awards for receiving the highest grade in Trademark Law, Representing the Professional Athlete, and Mass Media Law & Policy. I have also been recognized on the Dean's List and serve as the marketing director on the Disability Law Society's Executive Board.
