-: So definitely become as involved as possible as you can.
In programs, in applying to internships,
taking as broad of, taking courses that are so broad.
Not only focusing on your, on one aspect.
So I went for political science,
but I ultimately also got a minor
in justice and law administration,
and conflict resolution.
So all those different aspects have
helped me deal with the multidisciplinary approach.
The other thing that allowed me
to get my foot in the door was
the Hancock Student Leadership Program
here at Western.
The attorney that I was shadowing and interning,
she handled the child abuse cases.
So she allowed me to sit in
on a multidisciplinary investigation team meeting.
And I saw the different aspects that were in play,
and I also saw the team coordinator,
who facilitated everything, and she was,
she presented herself in a way that I really sought to be.
So from that internship, I had asked the State Attorney,
"Is there any way I can get my foot in the door,
"even volunteering?"
And so she gave me the contact info
for the team coordinator.
