Some people know from a singular moment in their childhood what they're meant to do. Some people discover theirs slowly like an archaeologist digging through layers of dirt + history. I'm the latter. As a kid, I enjoyed being a student. But I was happiest in english, history, and science classes. By the time college rolled around, I knew I wanted to be an Archaeologist. I went on my first excavation, fell in love with the practice but knew that I didn't want to get my PhD in Archaeology. I wanted something with more agency over protecting history, art, and cultures. So I majored in Anthropology, the study of people and cultures, which was the perfect decision for me. I remember in one of my 101 classes watching a documentary where they talked about legal careers protecting cultural heritage. I was hooked. After graduating early & working for 2 years after life threw me some lemons, I pursued law school. My interests and skills began to finally cross paths and come together. During law school, I: - volunteered as a legal intern for California Lawyers for the Arts in their mediation programs - researched as a legal intern for the Data Privacy Initiatives team at BBB National Programs - worked as a Student Attorney for Elon's Small Business & Entrepreneurship Clinic - managed the Symposium team as Chief Symposium Editor for Vol. 16 of the Elon Law Review - co-hosted a school-sponsored podcast called, Lawyer, Affirmed, for first-gen law students - and in my spare time, freelanced on copyright and cultural heritage subjects. The above experiences primed my legal research, writing, and editing skills. I look forward to interviewing and communicating with clients. Most especially, I love diving into areas that involve creativity, the arts, culture, and entrepreneurship. I'm currently looking for my first litigation associate position - if you know of anyone hiring or anyone that would be open to an informational interview, please send my way. I look forward to making new connections & throwing my hat into the ring! ____________________________________________________________________________________ I'm KimberMarie, a.k.a. the Sailor's Daughter, which is also the name of my newsletter where I discuss cultivating holistic wellness by understanding resilience more.
