Q: What’s your favorite part of being an IPLAC member?
A: The community it builds and the people you meet. I started as a law student and knew no one! Networking events were very intimidating at first, but everyone is there to support each other. Slowly over time, I moved up the ranks at IPLAC and am now slated to be President in 2026/2027.
Q: How did you get into IP?
