At Barrier Breakers®, Inc., building community is at the core of our mission. This month, I was thrilled to host in-person info sessions in partnership with St. John's University School of Law for students in the New York area and partner with the New York County District Attorney's Office to host an in-person information session with their attorneys. We loved reconnecting with our incredible students and alumni and happy hour events in the City as well. Seeing our students form meaningful connections and support each other through the law school application process was a reminder of how powerful community can be. I also had the honor of gathering with my stellar team of advisors—all current and former deans and directors of admissions—for our first in-person dinner in NYC. These brilliant minds are the backbone of our work, and I couldn’t be more excited about the future we’re building together! A major shout out to Demi Pirrone at the New York County District Attorney's Office for helping coordinate a wonderful event for our Barrier Breakers students, Denée Page and Junghwa Reichert, M.A. at St. John's for hosting us so brilliantly, Paul Patterson, PhD for coordinating the details for our organization, and Dr. Nadia Castriota, Arturo Hodgson, M.S., Shani Butts, Glenn E. Bell, M. Ed., and Gabriela Amador for being wonderful advisors! #BarrierBreakers #CommunityBuilding #LawSchoolAdmissions #NYC #FirstGenSuccess #Leadership #Teamwork
