As a first generation law student / attorney, no one has benefitted more than myself from incredible mentors and couches that helped me chart a path to Big Law. These individuals knew the kinds of internships to focus on, what mattered most at each stage of the application process and how to overcome any roadblocks that could prevent you landing that coveted 2L summer position. Learning from them was crucial to my job hunt, but more than that, it was inspiring to me personally. I could tell they were invested in my success, and the payoff of landing my dream job was twice as sweet when I could share that accomplishment with them. Since starting my career, I've assisted students from all backgrounds secure offers at some of the most prestigious law firms in the world--and had a great time doing it! If you're looking to break into Big Law, I'd love to be in your corner. My expertise is in the following: 1. Breaking into Big Law: Networking & Applications 2. Standing Out: Big Law Interviews 3. Crafting Your Narrative: Resumes, Personal Statements & Interviews

Put a Big Law attorney from the Big Apple in your corner. For years, I've helped students from across the country reach the upper tier of US and international law firms (e.g. Cravath, K&E, Skadden, etc.), and I'd love to help you: Polish your resume. Nail the interview. Land your dream job. After years working as a deals lawyer in the New York office of Clifford Chance, I am now in-house with a large asset manager and continue to work daily with premier US and international law firms. I hold a JD from BYU’s J. Reuben Clark Law School and, prior to joining Clifford Chance, clerked with the US Attorneys Office, Baker McKenzie and Wilson Sonsini’s tech subsidiary SixFifty. Since entering legal practice, I’ve enjoyed coaching individuals through the most crucial steps of the Big Law hiring process, including complex and shifting timelines, prepping for interviews and securing offers at their target firms. Whether you just need a second set of eyes on your resume or deeper insights into the application process, I'm here to help.
