Co-VP, Alumni Relations

Meet Adam:

Hey all! I am a second-year law student here at Vanderbilt and the Co-Vice President of Alumni Relations for VLS Ambassadors.

I was born in Flushing, Queens, but spent the majority of my childhood in Washington, D.C. After attending Georgetown Preparatory School, I ended up at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD, where I initially enrolled in the pre-med program before realizing that physics was much harder than I thought — I ended up majoring in Political Science and Economics instead. After graduation, I spent a few years back in D.C., working as an International Trade Paralegal with Wiley Rein LLP.

Here at Vanderbilt, I am also involved with the Asian Pacific American Law Student Association, and I play for the Vanderbilt Men’s Lacrosse Team. After graduation, I plan to work as a transactional attorney in Houston, TX — this past summer, I worked in Houston as a 1L Summer Associate with Kirkland & Ellis.

Outside of school, I enjoy playing tennis, cooking, and cheering on the New York Yankees! Admittedly, I spend most days hanging out at home with my dog, Rusty, and my hermit crabs, Tom and Jerry.
