Tajira (Taj) worked in law school admissions for ten years, most recently as the Director of Admissions and Scholarship Programs at Berkeley Law. At Berkeley Law, her primary responsibilities included recruiting and advising prospective law school applicants on the application process, evaluating applicants for admission and incoming scholarship opportunities, managing the scholarship reconsideration process, and supporting diversity recruitment and yield efforts. During her tenure in law admissions, her recruitment efforts spanned JD and LLM programs at four law schools, including public and private institutions, a Jesuit institution, and an HBCU. Taj built and cultivated relationships within the law school and pre-law communities, often speaking on panels about the admissions process, diversity in law schools, personal and diversity statement workshops, and financial aid talks. For the Law School Admissions Council, she served on the Misconduct and Irregularities in the Admissions Process Subcommittee, the Subcommittee on DiscoverLaw Plus Programs, the International Outreach and Recruitment Work Group, the Annual Meeting Planning Work Group, and the Diversity Committee. She also evaluated submissions to the LSAC Diversity Writing Competition, and she presented at several Annual Meeting Conferences and numerous LSAC Forum events. Following her time in admissions, she served as the Director of Career Services at the University of San Francisco School of Law and has served as an application reader for Loyola Law School (Los Angeles). Taj received her bachelor’s degree from California State University, Northridge, and her JD from Southwestern Law School. In addition to admissions consulting, she is a literary agent representing creatives in the publishing industry. Taj is also a rom-com author with MIRA Books of HarperCollins.
