Senior Consultant, Privacy - Booz Allen
Tell us about your current position: I work with various federal agencies to implement privacy regulations, laws, and best practices; design better experiences to give users more control over their own data; and provide privacy training and guidance.
How does your LSJ education continue to influence your career?:In privacy, you sometimes have to get creative to find the solution! The answers vary based on context and are almost never black and white. LSJ taught me to dive into this type of ambiguity, critically examine all perspectives, arrive at balanced conclusions, and communicate effectively in each step of the process. On a topical level, because data privacy is all about protecting personal information and giving individuals more control over their data, LSJ gave me a head start with the conversations we had surrounding the Fourth Amendment, individual rights, property, and space.

How does your LSJ education continue to influence your career?: Through my time in LSJ, I became exposed to the expansive and seemingly never-ending questions of "why". This desire for a greater understanding of people and systems introduced me to a more interesting outlook on everyday life where I constantly feel engaged with what is around me. I am grateful for the education provided to me through the LSJ community inside and outside of the classroom as it has changed the way I think which is changing the way I lead and serve others.

Associate - Covington & Burling LLP
Tell us about your current position: I am an associate at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., where I maintain an active advertising/consumer protection and investigations practice.
How does your LSJ education continue to influence your career?: My LSJ major introduced me to the role that law plays in society, both nationally and at the global level, which prompted my desire to apply for (and ultimately attend law school). The rigor of the coursework and the quality of my professors prepared me well for the demands of law school. During college, I had the opportunity to take a number of disability-related classes, including a special education law class with a wonderfully caring professor. What I learned int those classes inspired me to work on disability rights issues as a part of my pro bono practice at which I currently practice.
