After graduating from Tennessee Tech University in May 2023 with a B.S. in Economics, I am now a JD candidate at the University of Tennessee College of Law.Working for New York Habitat, I was able to gain valuable real estate knowledge and experience, especially pertaining the harsh, specific real estate laws in New York City. I navigated various New York City databases to confirm ownership and any violations pertaining to properties seeking to be rented with NYH. Additionally, I gained experience calling and communicating with owners, often internationally, about their properties and NYH’s listing documents.Working as a summer intern for the Haynes Firm, I was able to gain excellent experience working in a small, successful, and distinguished law firm. I handled and directed incoming phone calls and case inquiries, while also sorting through case files to assist the attorneys in their medical malpractice and personal injury work.
