"I fell into the bucket of people who after college decided, uh, law school might be a path for me."

"So as a corporate attorney, I work with companies and investors, uh, mostly in the private markets for either, uh, raising or um, funding capital."

"Transactional work can be very volatile. There can be times when you have weeks of 60, 70 hours and then weeks of 30 hours."

"Being a good communicator, asking questions, paying attention, attention to detail, all of those types of soft skills are valuable in any job."

"Like no matter how many you close, there's still kind of that rush of getting a deal finished and across the line."

"You gotta learn how to manage your time and manage your deal flow."

"I enjoy working with clients who are focused more on not just solely making money, but trying to invest in companies that tackle issues we face as a society."

"Being a team player in this space, like you can't do everything by yourself."

"Legal research, legal knowledge is important, but less so than process management."

"And so it could be a great way to see, hey, this is something I'm interested in, or maybe not."

"In the corporate world, most things can be fixed. Mistakes, while undesirable, are usually fixable."

"The time management of playing a sport and doing classes was helpful for transitioning after college."
