Charlotte Smithson: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A Columbus transplant, born and raised in Reno, Nevada (Go Pack!)
• Committed to leading an eco-conscious, sustainable life through vegetarianism and ethical consumerism
• A first-generation college graduate and a staunch advocate of liberal arts institutions
• Exceptionally bad at most creative endeavors (e.g. embroidery) but still committed to practicing 
• Interested in coding and web development thanks to my dad’s career as a database administrator
• A dog mom to a sassy 7-year-old Chihuahua mix, who I rescued in December 2018
• Obsessed with iced mochas and a patron at many local, independently owned coffee shops
• Exclusively a nonfiction reader, despite the fact I majored in English literature 
• A volunteer at Columbus Humane, Habitat for Humanity, and other organizations
• Above all else, a work-in-progress ally, always striving to learn more to empower others
