  • kriak

    Current Position: 
    Legal Assistant at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
    Current Location:
    New York, NY
    Majors:
    Economics and Educational Studies

     

    "HWS prepared me for my future through the skill sets I acquired in the classroom and on the athletic field. The Economics classes allowed me to enhance my critical thinking skills while the Educational Studies classes further developed my interpersonal skills. Being on the men’s soccer team and fulfilling the role of a captain has taught me how to become a leader in all assets of life. The combination of these three has forced me to grow intellectually and is the reason as to how I got to where I am."
