\"\"Alexandra\u00a0Curtin<\/span>\u00a0’19 shadowed Noah Spaulding ’02 at Circle this summer. He works in their Legal Department as a Legal Director.<\/p>\n

Describe your shadowing visit:<\/h3>\n

Within seconds upon arriving, Noah greeted me with some (very yummy) doughnuts. He introduced me to all of his very friendly coworkers and then we went into a conference room to discuss the plan for the day. He also told me more about Circle and his journey to the company. Next, I met Noah’s two attorneys, Saige and Christina, in their meeting about the legal contracts for Circle’s ambassador program in the U.K. While Noah was in his next meeting, Christina and I went over each provision in a draft of a Non-Disclosure Agreement. She then took me to lunch across the street because Noah’s meeting went on longer than expected. We finished going over the NDA after lunch. I also met and spoke with Cherie, Circle’s director of compliance in North America. I accompanied Cherie, Noah, and Saige to their meeting about forms for potential investors of Circle. Finally, Noah gave me a Circle t-shirt and took a picture with me!<\/p>\n

Do your skills, interests and values align with your shadowing experience (industry of interest)?<\/h3>\n

Yes, I have always been interested in law so it was interesting to shadow a legal director. Additionally, my International Studies major and proficiency in French align with how Circle is an international company with numerous locations around the world.<\/p>\n

Based on this experience are there any skills that you need to develop? If so, what are they and how do you plan to do so?<\/h3>\n

I definitely need to become more familiar with legal and financial terms. I plan to do so by taking more Economics classes and going to law school.<\/p>\n

How has this experience changed or reinforced your career goals?<\/h3>\n

This experience has definitely reaffirmed my interest in going to law school and pursuing a career on an international level. It showed me the amazing various opportunities provided by a law degree. My experience at Circle also demonstrated how increasingly connected the world is becoming through technology.<\/p>\n

Based on this experience what is next in your career plans?<\/h3>\n

I plan on talking to my advisor about the Pre-Law program and starting to study for the LSATs!<\/p>\n

Would you recommend your shadowing visit to other students? Make sure to explain why or why not?<\/h3>\n

Yes, I would definitely recommend my shadowing visit at Circle to my classmates! Noah was a very welcoming and accommodating host. He and his colleagues took time out of their day to make sure that I learned a lot about the company and how it operates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
