Jenny Cross-Examined

What was your first job? My first unofficial job was working in my Dad’s NAPA store in the summers doing inventory. My first “real job” was working as a Bank Teller at Regions Bank the summer after high school.

What advice would you give to a young student in law school? Hone your writing skills and get to know your professors.
