In college, I focused on student government as well as volunteered for an organization that strove to ensure that everyone had access to the judicial system and received fair treatment. After college, I worked for the Nevada Legislature as a Senate Committee on Judiciary Secretary where my desire to serve the public grew. … Knowing that the work I do is meant to benefit the public or a single person who otherwise would not have the access to legal assistance is the most rewarding thing about public interest work. I think that the purpose of the legal profession is to help people, which is why I like public interest work because I will be able to help those who may not otherwise have access to the kinds of legal assistance they may require.
