While working with NYC Health + Hospitals, the attorneys provided me with a variety of assignments. I had the opportunity to sit in on and contribute to meetings with the legal research I compiled on then-developing laws and regulations. The knowledge and skills I acquired from this experience have carried over and continued to benefit me in my subsequent jobs.
