>> I like helping repair the world.
I think, I practiced law for eight years and one
of the things that was difficult was that I felt
like there was a lot of times when I
practiced law that I was tearing things apart
when I was doing litigation especially,
because you would be working with individuals
or with businesses where they had a
relationship with someone and because
of the litigation they no longer
were going to have the relationship.
And it could be that it was
a vendor or a supplier
and as a result it severed
a business relationship,
sometimes it severed a personal
relationship, and what I found when I moved
over to the non-profit field was that
I was helping put things back together
and helping fix problems in the world, and
I think that's was really starts my passion,
that's one of the reasons I went
into law in the first place.
And so while I don't practice law on a
daily basis I use my law degree because some
of the work that I do and working with
donors and working with individuals
to establish long term gifts for the
organization, is to use my law degree
so I feel like that's also a good thing.
