Educational Background and Early Motivations
Emily started her legal journey at the University of Ohio, where she pursued her undergraduate education in Sociology. Her academic pursuits were fueled by an interest in the underlying structures that shape the social class, especially with respect to the disparities in economic consequences. This early passion laid the groundwork for her future career in law, as she wanted to understand and combat the injustices within the sector of consumer finance.
Following her undergraduate studies, Emily was accepted into the prestigious university, where she excelled in classes in consumer protection law. Her law school years were marked by an intricate study of the nitty-gritty of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which have become the core aspects of her legal approach. During her law school years, she also took part in an impressive leadership position in the Consumer Rights Legal Clinic, conducting pro bono work that ensured the defense of those unfairly targeted by predatory lending and collection practices.
