Q: How did UC Irvine Law prepare you for your legal practice?
My time UC Irvine Law was a huge help while I was preparing for my bar exam. The connections we could have with alumni, the workshops, training videos and office hours were very helpful. Also, access to resources and subject-wise outlines helped me immensely during my prep. The career support that UC Irvine Law offers is so amazing. It feels like the people at UC Irvine actually care about your growth and success. UC Irvine career professionals are always ready to support and guide you better in your endeavors as well as preparing you for interviews. I am so grateful to have such supportive people from the legal fraternity at UC Irvine Law.

Q: What do you like best about your work?
I love drafting and negotiating commercial technology contracts, learning how to handle complex negotiations and supporting the business teams. With the evolving era of GenAI I enjoy assisting with negotiations related to GenAI indemnity and liability terms in the contracts.

Q: What was the best part about being a student at UC Irvine Law?
The professors! The ease with which professors try to accommodate students and explain the topics helped learning laws of a different country very interesting. I was glad to have access to professors and ask questions to learn more. The supportive environment aided a very positive learning experience for me! The career support resources have been very helpful even after I graduated.

Q: How do you stay involved with the UC Irvine Law community?
I live in San Diego so I am not local to Orange County but I try to attend online sessions! UC Irvine Law has always supported me and I will continue to support the community in any manner I can.
