How did your experience at Ursuline help your journey to this point, passing the Ohio Bar Exam?
Ursuline helped me through my journey passing the bar because that is where I got interested in pursuing law as a career.
How did your Ursuline education help you as a graduate student?
When I was a junior, I reached out to Anne Murphy-Brown, the head of the Legal Studies department at Ursuline, and she was the one who recommend I apply to the University of Dayton for law school. She nominated me for the leadership honors program, which is a program that offers a full-ride tuition to law school. I was awarded that scholarship and I knew that becoming a lawyer was possible.
Is there anything else you’d like to share about your experience as a student at Ursuline College and/or your current program at Toledo?
My undergrad degree at Ursuline prepared me for my law degree at Dayton in a few ways. First, I was lucky to have an advisor, Sr. Cynthia Glavac, to help me choose classes that were academically challenging and geared toward making me a better writer and thinker. I was also a track and cross-country athlete in my time at college. Being a college athlete helped me in graduate school because I was able to take on challenges and balance schedules more easily. The close-knit community at Ursuline and the support I received throughout my 4 years gave me a foundation for success after college.
What do you want to do next?
In May 2022, I graduated with a law degree and then studied for the Ohio bar. I passed the bar, and now I am a business and real estate attorney for a midsize law firm in Bellefontaine Ohio. I hope to continue growing in the legal industry as an associate and hopefully make partner someday at a business-focused law firm.
