Andrew has helped clients get into these companies:
Welcome to my profile! When I started law school, I was told that my chances at getting into big law were very slim since I didn't attend a T14 law school and that I needed to graduate at the top of my class to even have a chance. With what felt like all odds against me, I diligently studied in law school and created a targeted plan, focusing my efforts on networking and recruiting. After receiving offers from multiple big law firms, regional and small law firms, startups and JD advantage roles, I ultimately landed my dream job at Kirkland and Ellis. Whether you are at a T14 law school or not, or whether you are a first generation law student/attorney or not, I know what it takes to navigate the recruiting process and can help you land your dream job. Let's connect and chart your path to success in the legal field!

About Andrew
As a first-generation law student and attorney, I know firsthand the challenges and the rewards of navigating law school and the legal job market. Starting with next to no guidance, I applied to law school knowing very little about the legal field, yet, I was able to learn the ins and outs of how to succeed in law school while also juggling a master's degree and work commitments of up to 20 hours a week. My journey led me to a position at Kirkland & Ellis, an achievement I reached by mastering the recruiting process. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, all sports and outdoor activities and am currently training to run a half marathon.
Why do I coach?
Very few things are more exciting than helping others find their dream jobs and succeed in life. As a mentor, I’m passionate about empowering law students and aspiring attorneys to achieve their goals with tailored, actionable advice. Whether you’re just starting out or planning your next career move, I can guide you through the path to success.
