"My economics major encouraged me to seek practical solutions to legal problems I was presented in law school, and statistics and economic models comprise a significant component of corporate employment and labor law practice, particularly in the area of Title VII disparate impact discrimination cases. A solid foundation in economics is essential to understanding the complex theories of liability and proof in this area of practice, and Hollins has prepared me well. Professor Fleck and Professor Dadak's encouragement during my honors thesis, which relied heavily on statistical analysis, was invaluable. My internship with the enforcement (legal) division of the New York Stock Exchange before my senior year was an added boost when applying to law school. In addition, my Hollins professors have stayed in touch over the years and provided support throughout my career and during my studies for the bar exam."
