What drew you to a career in law?

Growing up as the daughter of South Asian immigrant parents, it was always assumed that I would follow in my family's footsteps and pursue a career in the sciences. What drew me to the law was that I saw it as a career path that was novel and unchartered – and one that was a great fit for my oral and written advocacy skills.
