How has your Le Moyne education impacted your career thus far as a young professional?

My Le Moyne education has had a tremendous impact on my career. I learned early at Le Moyne that hard work and focus pay off in the long run. I have carried this mind set into my professional career. Because of that mindset, I have earned the trust and confidence of my peers to handle almost any legal matter that comes to our doors at an early stage in my career.
