Law

  In May 2005, I graduated from Seton Hall Law School, in Newark, NJ. I'm very happy with the education I received at Seton Hall.

  After taking the NJ Bar Exam in late July, I will begin a one-year clerkship with Judge Kuskin, a judge for the New Jersey Tax Court. After that, I plan on getting my LLM in Taxation.
