Stephanie is a Cooley Law School Graduate and works as the Founder of Growthset Coaching. Stephanie’s Legal journey was a constant tug and pull with the Law. With a Global upbringing and having lived in Costa Rica for a couple of years, College brought her interests together, and she decided the legal route was for her.
Stephanie and I started after she graduated from Mount Holyoke College. She would go on to join the Women’s Bar Association, which she highly suggests, and also become a Legal Assistant for a year. Stephanie described her pre-law legal job as a critical experience in preparing her for Law School, which is one of the best ways to build a network and gain great insights into what the Law School experience is like.
Following this, Stephanie spoke about her first year at Cooley Law School, saying that it was incredibly difficult, overwhelming, and truly an experience unlike anything else she has ever encountered. She suggested how crucial having a support system is, talking to Peers at the school, and saying yes to every opportunity you can get your hands on. Also, Stephanie suggested using a physical timer to keep you focused and using your voice to study while cooking, cleaning, or any other daily activities.
Finally, we spoke about her experiences after Law School, finding what sector of the Law she enjoyed most. Each experience would be delved into, leading us to her opening Growthset Coaching, something that stemmed from her experience as a TA, helping Neurodivergent Law Students gain the techniques and principles they need to flourish in Law School.
This episode with Stephanie is a fantastic one, full of quick tips for those in and out of Law School to live out your legal dreams!
