Bio
Joseph Muha Esq RPh MBA LLM
I have the pleasure of attending many classes with Kirstyn. She is a hard working and exceptionally bright student. She applies her real world experience to the lessons. She is the best legal writer in my classes and is extraordinarily well organized. Kirstyn is on top of or ahead of the syllabus and adds to the experience of law school. Involved in many extracurricular activities in various leadership roles, she is an essential part of the campus family. Kirstyn does not shy away from new challenges and pushes her self and those around her to achieve the highest results. On a personal level, I have benefited from her knowledge and friendship. Kirstyn has made the law school experience much more enjoyable and enriching. She would be an outstanding addition to any team. I heartily recommend her.

I met Kirstyn in our first year of law school at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School. I immediately became impressed with Kirstyn's professionalism in the classroom, and her wit and humor outside of the classroom. Kirstyn challenges herself, and others, to persevere in every aspect of their lives. If she is not studying, or helping out in the clinic, she is helping others by volunteering throughout her community. Kirstyn is the type of person that wants to help others achieve their best. There aren't many students in law school who will take the time to explain a subject you might not understand, or take notes for you, or help you find creative ways to present a case. While Kirstyn is a great competitor herself, she also understands the importance of assisting a colleague in need. I highly recommend Kirstyn for any position she pursues and believe anyone who takes Kirstyn on as a colleague would be blessed to have her in their corner. I know I would be.
