Tessa is a rising 2L at Notre Dame Law School. A second-generation Korean-American originally from Southern California, Tessa has lived in many different places in the United States—most recently, North Carolina. She is a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she pursued a double major in political science and economics and a minor in Korean. This summer, she is interning at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. Upon graduating from law school, Tessa hopes to remain actively involved in the Korean-American community and serve as a role model and mentor for future lawyers.
