The design of my website is based off of the website of the firm that my alumni interview connection works at. My goal after graduation is to succeed at law school and be hired as an attorney, so I thought, why not make it easier for them? My website is plain but still colorful and relatively interesting – it puts the focus on the pictures the most.

My artifacts were mainly picked for two things: to show that I can write extensively about any topic, and to show my identities as a Southern Jew. These are two tenets that are central to my law experience: I want to work in a path that may take me to a big firm where I have to work horrible hours, but I am not willing to sacrifice observing the Shabbat commandments, so that is clear through my poetry collection. In terms of the essays, I really just wanted to show my attention to detail and my ability to cite and build an argument.

My two additional pages focus on my editing experience, which again, shows attention to detail but also team leadership and effective communication, and on my bioethics story and research, which explains why I want to go into the specific field of law I’m planning to pursue.

If I had more time to improve, I probably would have wanted to add more of my editing experience. I will soon have articles that show editing directly in the medical field published, and I will also have the fourth issue of YNST coming out, so there will be a lot more comments.
