"So as a project coordinator, I'm kind of like the client facing side of the legal work that we do."

"This is actually the first job I've ever had where that answer isn't, it's different every day."

"If you're gonna work in this community...who really, really needs help...you have to have empathy"

"The immediacy of being able to help people is probably the best part about my job."

"The bureaucracy and the hoops we have to jump through is the opposite of that."

"it's kind of like going to law school light for free. You just get to learn things when, when things are on the table and available to you."

"People who are organized, reliable, punctual, persistent. Definitely people who have an empathetic streak. People who are willing to listen, and they know how to read the room."

"I think the expectation is that you just know things, and sometimes you do and sometimes you don't."

"I think that a project coordinator is an entry-level position. You can move up in a scale, you know, with certain years of experience."

"you have to be able to turn it off and go into your day when you leave work, and not take it with you because otherwise you're gonna burn out immediately."

"Now, not only am I good at Jeopardy, but I also think that it gave me a wealth of like non-sequitur experience that actually helps me."

"Don't hide. Uh, you don't have to fit into a box for somebody to hire you. Um, and if you do, you don't wanna work there anyway."
