>> OK, well, I started in-- I started at Rutgers, Rutgers College in New Brunswick
and I started in 2002, I graduated in 2006.
I was a double major in philosophy and psychology so I sort of walk around campus being
like well, I can't keep-- what am I going to do with the philosophy major?"
So I thought about psychology for a little while because I really enjoyed it
and I thought maybe clinical psychology would be something that I would want to do but then
when I thought about it, I went to India, I studied abroad in India while I was here
at Rutgers and I just had a couple of experiences there that really led me to think
about advocacy and about representing people who don't have representation
or can't represent themselves and it made me really passionate about just the idea
of representation so that's when I started to think about law as a choice, of career work.
So I decided to take the LSAT which was an awful, awful process
but I got through it while I was here.
So then in 2006 I started at Seton Hall Law School in Newark so I graduated there in 2009.
I didn't always know that I wanted to be an attorney like it wasn't something
like when I was three years old I knew I wanted to be an attorney, I just--
I sort of fell into it and I didn't have, you know, science or math or something, you know,
one of those fields that just sort of lead
into like a pharmaceutical company or engineering or like that.
So, for me it just seemed a natural path because I love reading and writing
and comprehensive thought and analysis so yeah.
