company, and eventually became tired of commuting. I
applied for a job in law firm, thinking it would be temporary
while I finished grad school. That was 13 years ago, and I am
still thriving and growing!
Caroline - During college I was a poly sci major. After
graduation, rather than going into law school, I networked
with professionals and got into Dorsey. I really wanted
to become a fashion merchandiser, but under my father's
guidance I started at Dorsey and left retail behind.
Barbara - I wanted to be a journalist but had to decide early
on what I wanted to be. From high school I went straight to
law school. My profession began as a lawyer for 17 years, and I
practiced for over 10 years. I attended a conference, and it was
there I first heard about KM and what it was. I took that back
to my firm and was able to implement a KM program!
Shefali - When I started college, I thought I wanted to be
a doctor but figured out it wasn't for me. I thought the next
logical choice was to become a lawyer. The business side of
legal is what interested me most, corporate law. When I
started, I worked with startups. After time there, I shifted
and went into product design and design thinking. There, I
learned more about the legal tech and innovation space. This
was a perfect combination of my skill sets, and still use my
law degree to a certain extent.
Holly - I did not expect to be doing this, since my undergrad
was in international affairs. While in grad school, I had
library jobs, but they paid poorly. I decided to switch, and get
a job in computers, working for few startups. I then worked
for Microsoft and met Gwyn at ILTACON one year. I took a
job Perkins Coie and have been here eight years. ILTA
