WHY LAW?
I spent my formative years in competitive debate and speech clubs. I volunteered for Calgary Legal Guidance before law school and enjoyed speaking to lawyers about their careers. I have always enjoyed litigation and arguing cases in the courtroom. There is a personal satisfaction from advocating for your clients’ position.
