Corporate Secretary, Aviation Company
I'm a first-year law clerk in the antitrust group at Weil, Gotshal & Manges in New York. I had the opportunity to be mentored by Jane during my 1L and 2L years at UCLA Law and NYU Law. I found her mentorship instrumental in helping me navigate law school, make strategic career decisions, and land my dream job in Big Law in NYC.
In my 1L year, I had not yet cultivated a network of experienced legal professionals. Jane filled that gap and provided invaluable support, guiding me through networking, interviewing for a Big Law position in NYC, selecting the right 2L opportunity, and making the most of my 2L summer experience. She was always thoughtful and genuinely invested in my growth, and made me feel supported in ways I wouldn’t have otherwise.
Prior to law school, I spent many years in the food industry and as a freelance dancer. I couldn't be happier with my choice to pivot to law, but my path to getting here was indirect. Through our conversations and mock interviews, Jane helped me sharpen the way I told my story.
What I appreciated most about Jane was her ability to truly listen, while also offering actionable strategies that helped me move forward with more clarity. I’m incredibly grateful for her mentorship!

Her guidance on setting priorities during law school helped me stay focused and strategic.
Jane’s deep knowledge of the legal industry, particularly Big Law in NYC, provided me with the insights I needed to pursue my career goals with confidence. Her mentorship was instrumental in my successful 2L year and was essential to securing my job in Big Law.
I am truly grateful for her mentorship and support. If you're looking for a mentor who genuinely cares about your growth and success, I cannot recommend Jane enough.
