“My journey to law was a really long one, because actually, in college I was pre-med.  When I graduated from college and was looking for my next step, I wound up doing a dual-degree program that was psychology and the law. I wound up just becoming more interested in the legal side of things.

Every issue is like a puzzle and you’re trying to find where it fits like pieces of a puzzle, and that’s like how you’re identifying the law and then where in the law you can either help this person or not help them.

My role as Frontline Attorney covers a lot of different areas, it’s very multi-faceted. I need to know a little bit of all our areas of law. I help folks more limited-scope so I don’t do a lot of cases, but I think the brief service work in itself is still pretty impactful to people. Not everyone needs full-scope representation, but just having somebody who they can talk to and get answers to their questions from is still a valuable service that we can provide at Open Door Legal.

Even when we don’t necessarily have remedies for people, I think it’s still important for them to know what their options are and if they are liable to somebody else and how to put themselves in the best position. I have become so passionate about making sure that folks have what everybody else should have too.”
