This interest has drawn her to teaching Legal Writing, which allows her to participate in students' acquisition of legal analytical skills and in the development of their ability to communicate their analysis in writing. This interest has also led her to work with the Office of Student Affairs in an ongoing program aimed at assisting students in the skills needed to study for and to write traditional law school exams.
