Here goes. I graduated from the University of South Carolina, School of Law in 2016, where I served as research editor for the South Carolina Law Review. While in school, I had the honor of working as a tutor of legal research and writing. I accumulated multiple law school accolades, including CALI awards in legal writing, advanced legal writing, income tax, and criminal procedure. During law school, I received a joint master’s degree from the Vermont Law School in environmental law and policy (MELP). After graduating law school, I clerked for Judge Joseph F. Anderson, Jr. in the United States District Court, and then I clerked for Judge David R. Duncan at the United States Bankruptcy Court. After law school, I went back to business school and received an MBA from the University of South Carolina, where I focused on marketing, new venture analysis, and intellectual property strategy. Finally, while completing my MBA, I worked as a research editor for one of my favorite professors in law school.If you read all of that, thank you for your interest. I’m flattered, and I hope you enjoy the book and crush law school.
