<p><strong>What inspires me to teach?</strong></p>
<p>As a first-generation college and law school graduate, I am inspired by the varied paths students take on their way to our classrooms and offices.&nbsp; I enjoy getting to know my students as we navigate our cases together, and I find the mentorship aspect of my job to be as fulfilling as the work we are doing for our veteran clients.&nbsp; Clinical legal education is the best of both worlds--providing pro bono legal representation to an inspiring population&nbsp;and guiding law students on their path toward lawyering and becoming our colleagues.&nbsp;</p>
