“My dream job would be to litigate in information privacy and security law. As my first job out of law school, I would be happy

in any position that can help me develop skills to get me there. I would like to end up in the San Francisco Bay Area, but I am open to location. Currently, I am applying to the Michigan Bar since I have the most leads in

this state.”
