Áine Prendergast

I love the legal field, advocacy, research, and academia. I'm especially passionate about graduate level studies and work environments; multidisciplinary studies and intersectionalities between fields also really interest me. I come from a background in network building, casework, client management, and driving goal-oriented data sets.

This particular role stands out to me as I think it would give me the unique chance to blend my legal skills with my strong communications/resource-building background. I have already formulated a legal professional network in the Boston area and I would love to share it. I'd be delighted to help law students navigate their internships and career prospects.

Since fostering relationships comes very easily to me, I believe I could build a strong rapport with legal offices, law mentors, and other legal opportunities and offer those to Boston College Law Students.
