I participated in the Trial Admissions Program (TAP) the summer before I was accepted and enrolled in Delaware Law, and I gave birth to my second child the week before the TAP finals. It was a challenge, but I managed it. That fall, I enrolled in the part-time program, which I completed in four years. It was a great option for someone like me with a young family.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>What has your career path been following law school graduation?<\/strong><br \/> It was influenced by a law school externship that I was fortunate enough to participate in. While in school, I was a Wolcott Fellow for Delaware Supreme Court Justice Holland, which was an amazing experience that built my self-confidence and helped me grow tremendously. During my clerkship I interviewed for a job at DuPont, and was offered a position at the end of my clerkship. I was at DuPont until I joined Ballard Spahr LLP, one of DuPont&rsquo;s outside law firms. My Delaware Law contacts have supported me through my career and made all of the difference.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>What advice would you give to law school students?<br \/> <\/strong>Relationships with your law school peers are important and you should nurture them. You never know who may be able to generate a referral, help you network, or provide you with a professional sounding board. Your law school relationships can be both personally and professionally enriching, and lead to opportunities you have never even dreamed of.<\/p>","callouts":[],"callouts_visual":[],"page_fact_display":""}
