Undergraduate/degree

Favorite Classes
My favorite classes from 1L year are Property and Core 1 and 2.

Favorite Professors
This is a hard question because each professor I have had at Case Law have helped push me forward in my professional development. However, I would say that, from my 1L year, I really enjoyed learning Property from Professor Kostritsky`s class because she was immensely engaging and kept me on my toes each day! I also felt that my legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills improved significantly during the course of the year in Professor Mercer`s Core 1 and 2 class.

Law School Activities
Associate Editor and Executive Contributing Editor of the Case Western Law Review, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Society Vice President of Moots, Student Health Law Association (SHLA) Executive Officer, Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association (CMBA) 3Rs program Volunteer, The Docket Staff Writer, Legal Aid Society Brief Advice Clinic Volunteer

Employment
Before Law School, I did biomedical research at Harvard and health policy research at Duke. During my 1L year, I split my summer working as a Law-Medicine Research Fellow for Professor Berg and as a legal intern at Lian & Lien Intellectual Property Attorneys in Beijing, China.

Advice
In my opinion, managing your time well is an important skill for succeeding in law school. I would budget time for each project (whether it is an exam, memo, etc.) and stick to that time budget plan. I would also budget time for relaxation too, especially for exploring the awesome culinary, cultural, sports, and arts experiences in Cleveland.
