Assistant General Counsel (Retired), Erickson Living
"Attending the Maryland Carey Law School was a watershed event in my life. I met so many smart, curious and wonderful people, many of whom are still my close friends. The quality and dedication of the faculty and staff made my experience exceptional. For these reasons, I am a proud supporter of the MCLSC. My husband and I established a scholarship fund for students interested in the health law field. We created this fund as a way of paying forward the value I received from my law school education. My fulfilling career as a health lawyer was due in no small part to the excellent education and experience that I received at the MCLS. I am honored to be a co-chair of the Maryland Carey Law School Club and look forward to meeting fellow club members over the next couple of years."
Principal, Business Counsel Solutions, LLC
"I dearly treasure my time as a Maryland Carey Law student. The experiences I had with the academic programs and professors, the community transactions clinic, the Maryland Law Review and leadership roles with the Black Law Students Association and the International Law Society allowed me to have an excellent foundation for my career as a business lawyer as well as to volunteer advocating for the rule of law in the US and globally. I am proud to be supporting the Business Law Program as well as the Gibson-Banks Center for Race and the Law so that the new generation of students will be enriched by these programs. I cherish the opportunity to encourage other alums to give back to our school."

Professor and Director, Maryland Carey Law Low Income Taxpayer Clinic
"I've been involved with the Maryland Carey Law School Club since the COVID-19 pandemic. The club held activities during the pandemic and helped me stay connected to the Maryland Carey Law community. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a student at Maryland Carey Law. It's such an honor to have the opportunity to serve the university as a faculty member, alumni, and now as a Co-Chair of the Maryland Carey Law School Club."
Senior Managing Associate, Sidley Austin LLP
"As a member of the Maryland Carey Law alumni community, I am honored to support the programs that shaped both my time as a student and my career as an attorney. I proudly contribute my time and resources to the Center for Dispute Resolution (C-DRUM) and the Law & Health Care Program. Competing on the school's Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) team taught me skills I still rely on every day, and the Health Law faculty and receiving the Health Law Certificate gave me the foundation for my FDA legal practice, which continues to excite and challenge me. My experience at Maryland Carey Law gave me so much, and I feel it is important for us all to give back to enrich the experience of current and future students. I am honored to serve as co-chair of the Maryland Carey Law School Club and look forward to helping the next generation of lawyers and leaders find their footing, just as I did."
