Kathleen Flaherty '07 has been working as a Paralegal in New York at the law firm, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, LLP., which has afforded her the opportunity to live in New York City and, as she says, "experience new endeavors." One of the new experiences she's had is working for a non-profit, Hope Shines, Inc., which runs camps and mentor programs for disadvantaged children around the world. Kathleen said "the main camp is in Rwanda and I spent time there in August working with children at an orphanage." Her experience working with the children in Rwanda was so positive that she is hoping to return to teach English. Please see the link to the Wall Street Journal article about Kathleen's work.
