Career Development

In both undergrad and graduate school I was very active in volunteering to help with the career services departments. Additionally, I for two years while in law school (a total of four semesters), I served as a panelist and mentor for incoming law students at Arizona State University (“ASU”). In that role, I counseled students and determined what areas of the law piqued his/her interests and then I directed each individual to the appropriate classes he or she needed to take to achieve their goals. For individuals who do not know what they want to do with their lives as a career choice, I ask a series of questions designed to find out what each person likes and dislikes, how well he/she works with others, what type of learner the person is (visual, auditory or a combination of both), and so forth. From there, I lay out a chronological plan in 10-steps for what the individual needs to do in order to achieve their career goals. I have used this approach to successfully help undergraduate and graduate students in embarking on their careers. A career is something that makes you happy and you get paid to do it whereas a job is something you get paid to do, but like most people—they hate their jobs.
Criminal Justice,

Criminal Justice

During law school tenure, I played an integral role in some criminal law classes. I did everything from research, to document review, discovery requests, interviewing clients and more. I also performed criminal court watches providing detailed feedback to judges in cases from simple DUI and marijuana possession cases all the way up to murder cases.
Law,

Law

I have tutored 1L - 3L students in the following subject areas: criminal law, criminal procedure, real property, torts, contracts, constitutional law, business associations (agency and partnership), conflict of laws, evidence, family law, secured transactions, and trusts and estates (aka decedent's estates).
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I am qualified to tutor individuals in public speaking as I am proficient in this area. Previously I worked for a Fortune 500 company for nearly 5 years and while there I put on presentations in front of new hires, executives, and even the President of the company as well. In my legal career, I have utilized my public speaking skills to argue cases in front of judges and attorneys for moot court while also participating in debates which require you to be quick on your feet. I have also hosted events in the community and attended rallies and had to publicly speak without any prior notice. I proved to be successful at this and raising money while doing so. I believe that public speaking is an art form, but you must first know your audience. Public speaking requires confidence and the ability to take criticism. I have knowledge of when it is best to write down your speech and when it is best to do it off the cuff. I have worked with my moot court co-counsel on their oral arguments in preparation for our competitions. I believe that my experience speaking in front of different types of crowds of people (whether I knew them personally or not) makes an expert in this area.

College Counseling,

College Counseling

I have experience in applying for scholarships beginning in high school including both public and private scholarship offers. I consider all avenues when seeking money beyond what the federal government may offer. I have experience applying for merit-based scholarships, financial need scholarships, scholarships for minorities, essay scholarships, and much more. When I attended undergrad at LSU, I obtained scholarships before had to lower the cost of attendance--many of which were essay scholarships and a well-known one came from DuPont. Additionally, I am well-versed in completing college applications and writing entrance essays that will set you apart from the other applicants. I applied to some law schools after I took the LSAT and wrote my entrance essay using my name and the meaning as the centerpiece. When I got ready to transfer to Arizona State University, I used a spinoff of this essay and my 1L experience to earn a spot at the university. As a former student ambassador and someone who worked in the admissions office at both LSU and Arizona State, I know what it takes to be the crème de la crème. Lastly, but not least fee waivers are important especially if you are from a low socioeconomic background and I can help you with that as well!

That AH HA Moment... LaTekqua M. Vision and advice.

I was at my oral arguments today. LaTekqua M. had prepped me, with drills on questions that she felt could be asked. I felt ready and prepared, but I hit my stride when the questions they asked were in the drills we prepared. Her vision and knowledge caused me to have a winning performance. She is killer smart! I am keeping her as an essential tool for law school.

Friendly and Very Helpful!

LaTekqua was very helpful as my wife was really struggling to write her first legal brief. At the end of the conversation she had more peace about how to best approach writing the brief. Would hire LaTekqua again in a heartbeat! Thank you!
