Hello! I'm Ellen.
Nice to meet you. I am currently a fourth-year student double majoring in Law and Sociology, with a concentration in Crime and Justice, at Suffolk University in Boston, MA. I am seeking a full-time position in the legal field upon graduating in May. I will be graduating with my BA in Law and Sociology. Some of my career interests include corporate and contractual law and litigation. As a dual citizen of USA and Brazil, my multicultural perspective has allowed me to develop my language skills and gain a unique understanding of both cultures. I believe I would be a great fit at any law firm as I am very driven, organized, and detail-oriented.
I look forward to chatting more about potential positions
at your firm and to get to know one another!
