Connor Werry

I am an ambitious, forward-focused JD student in my penultimate year seeking experience and self-development through the clerkship pathway. While working to financially support myself throughout two degrees, I have proven my skills as an efficient and skilled worker who thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments. I have found success as a paralegal, academic tutor and hospitality worker by leveraging my advanced interpersonal and communication skillset. I approach tasks diligently with precision and accuracy. I am also devoutly committed to continuous skill development and self-improvement. I pride myself on my reliability, problem-solving skills and strong work ethic.
