      • Traveling abroad has provided me with a greater knowledge and appreciation of global communities and how to effectively navigate around communication and cultural barriers. Living in a new country and traveling to other countries, I learned how to interact with a variety of people. I have enhanced my communication skills and truly realized how important it is to listen, be proactive, be patient, and be assertive. I believe all of these skills are translatable to a trial attorney. • Traveling abroad has provided me with a greater knowledge and appreciation of global communities and how to effectively navigate around communication and cultural barriers.
