Initially, Tiffany was interested in pursuing Patent and Intellectual Property Law, but through participating in the school legal clinics, soon discovered how meaningful and impactful pro-bono and civil legal aid work really was.

It was during her time interning at the clinic that Tiffany decided to go into Civil Legal Aid.

This made her more aware of the economic and housing disparity that exists in many communities and drove her desire to be part of the solution.
