Will’s professional experiences include an internship with Merrill Lynch in North Carolina and three years of teaching middle school in Memphis, Tennessee. He has also been an academic coach with the Partners in Public Education (PIPE) Yes! Tutoring program and has volunteered with Mother Teresa’s Misioneras de la Caridad in Mexico City, Mexico. Will’s interest in advocating for underrepresented and disadvantaged groups led him to come to law school. UTK’s course and clinical offerings persuaded him to pursue his legal education here.
“The University of Tennessee College of Law is ideally positioned to offer students a superior legal education. It boasts a top-flight faculty, but provides their instruction at the reduced costs of a state institution. It attracts a remarkably diverse, competitive student body, but fosters inclusive, collegial socialization. The school opens doors to every imaginable area of legal practice, from large firm clerkships to judicial externships to public service through Legal Aid. UT Law is a bargain from every conceivable angle.”
