I’ve wanted to be a lawyer since I was nine. I have my ABA paralegal certification. I work in the legal department at a software company. I’ve worked in corporate law for thirteen years with a focus on contract negotiation, drafting, administration, legal compliance and litigation management. I love what I do. I really enjoy corporate and contract law. I love how one word changes the entire intent and application of a clause. Drafting responses and forming my points and argument is fun! My supervising attorney has also encouraged me to go back to school for my JD. I still enjoy what I do after being in this field for thirteen years. I have zero doubts that becoming a lawyer is the next step in my career.
