Meet Michaela Vega-Woodard, 3L!

Where are you working this Fall?

I’m working at the Harris County Child Protection Court for the Honorable Katrina M. Griffith. The Harris County Child Protection Court is a specialized court that handles cases involving child abuse, neglect, and foster care.

How did you secure that opportunity?

I saw the court on a CRC resume collect and decided to cold email them my resume. I prefer cold emailing because it allows me to take initiative and stand out from the crowd. It gives me the chance to personally convey my interest and demonstrate how my background aligns with the organization’s mission, rather than waiting to be filtered through a standard application process.

How did the CRC help you successfully navigate the recruitment process?

They helped me refine my resume and translate the skills I gained in my previous career into something more relevant and marketable to the legal field.

What piece of advice would you share with the future generation of STCLH students going through recruitment?

It’s important to remember that OCI isn’t the only path to success in the legal field. Thinking outside the box can open doors that the traditional process might not. Don’t be afraid to cold email firms or organizations you’re genuinely interested in.

Also, when attorneys come to speak on panels or at events, take the opportunity to introduce yourself, follow up, and ask about potential opportunities. These personal connections can be far more impactful than a resume submitted through a portal. At the end of the day, fortune favors the bold.

What is something unique about you that we can’t learn from your resume?

I’m a huge nerd who loves anime, video games, and musicals.

Congratulations! Your success is a testament to your fearlessness and hard work. We’re so proud of you!
