Consulting Approach

Meg prioritizes guiding clients to confidently and successfully advocate for themselves at every level of the application process. Having met with thousands of students on their law school journeys, Meg recognizes the importance of building confidence so an applicant can easily convey in both written and interview settings why they want to attend their dream law school and why they will be successful when they are admitted. Meg also supports law students in building foundational skill sets such as perspective and pragmatism so their success continues beyond their law school admission to thriving law careers. 

Personal Note

Meg lives in Chicago and promises to only mention her affinity for the greatest city in the world once in a while. More often than not, she can be found creating MagnaTile masterpieces with her two sons and attempting home improvement and design projects to varying degrees of success.
