It has been a long summer. Here’s the tea:

Work: It is busy, fun and challenging. I cannot believe that I started as an extern exactly two years ago! It is scary how quickly time passed, and how much has happened since I started. I still feel lucky to have been accepted to Georgetown’s tax law LL.M. program and to have started at one of the top law firms for State and Local Tax.

I remain actively involved with the law center and frequently meet with new tax students. It is a privilege to meet the new crop of talent every year, and even help some of them score interviews with us. I also took on three ongoing pro bono projects involving trans rights, death penalty law, and immigration  — and I love that I work in a profession where I learn something new every single day.

One project for the fall is increasing my efficiency and building up my billable hours. I am also a board member of the DC LGBT Bar and the Texas Minority Counsel Program, which should keep me pretty booked and bless throughout the rest of the year.
