Have you always wanted to work as an intellectual property attorney? Can you tell us about your journey to this career path?
I had never imagined becoming an attorney when I was in grade school. I didn’t know a single attorney, and I had always seen myself becoming some type of scientist or engineer, so it was never on my radar as an option. I had always been interested in biology and medicine, so when I got to college, biomedical engineering seemed like the perfect position for me. This path led me to an engineering position at Boston Scientific, where I designed manufacturing processes for new medical devices that weren’t yet on the market. I quickly learned that although I loved learning about how medical devices and manufacturing processes work, I did not necessarily like being the person who made the devices and processes work.
