What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
The thing I enjoy most about my current role is that each day looks different. Each project, or each research question I'm assigned, feels very challenging and unique. There's never a day where I'm doing the same thing over and over again.
While some people may find this frustrating because it's almost impossible to be a true expert in the legal field, since it's constantly changing and there's so much information, I think it's very exciting. You always get to keep learning and always get to be doing new things.
