I will return to southern Illinois to practice law
in the fields of health care and elder law. Eventually, I would
like to open my own practice and represent those who are in need
of a health care advocate to facilitate care as well as work with
the legislature, organizations and private corporations to create
policies and practices that are conducive to quality care and patient
autonomy.

Upon graduating from the University of Illinois College of Law, I plan to pursue a career in health law. As the healthcare landscape shifts, I believe that new legal opportunities will continue to develop in the next 5 to 10 years. In particular, I would like to have a hand in shaping legislation and policies relating to healthcare via a government or public interest job.

After earning my JD, I want to serve family law clients
at the highest level and make a difference for families and children
going through divorce and child custody battles. I also want to
improve existing laws so children are truly the primary focus during
difficult family situations. I am also interested in intellectual
property law. As a person who is constantly coming up with ideas
for the next invention or development of an existing product, I
would like to help other inventors protect their ideas and learn
more about this exciting area of practice. Finally, I would like
to be a creative force in the development of improved software applications
for attorneys to keep track of client information and case statistics.

As a previous emergency room employee, I plan on
taking full advantage of Saint Louis University's Health Law program.
Subsequently, I plan on providing legal services to seniors who
otherwise would not be able to afford it. With the health care industry
evolving almost daily, it can be very difficult to figure out your
patient rights. Therefore, I hope to alleviate any confusion about
our health care system and stand by those who need assistance the
most -our seniors. |
