“Growing up near the Mayo Clinic culture sparked my interest in health care law and policy. I started in Hamline Law’s weekend program and commuted from Rochester. I completed a judicial clerkship internship in Rochester for the Honorable Christina K. Stevens (this internship was provided through Hamline’s Career Services Department). I wanted to complete a health law externship at the Mayo Clinic so I reached out to Barb Colombo, who put me in touch with Hamline health law alumna, Jacki Monson, Mayo Clinic’s Privacy Officer at the time. Jacki graciously accepted me as an intern. Fortunately, this internship turned into a full-time job offer as a Privacy Analyst in Mayo Clinic’s Integrity and Compliance Office. I completed my JD and HLI certificates in the weekend program while starting my new job at Mayo. Currently, I am a Senior Privacy Analyst at Mayo Clinic. I work with various business groups and the Legal Department to develop privacy-compliant policies and procedures. I also lead many business associate initiatives and respond to complaints from external regulators and agencies.”
