Background

About Katherine Kussmann

Currently working at Golan Christie Taglia LLP in Chicago, I have learned many skills, including working with legal documents, legal language, multi-tasking and communication with attorneys and clients in various types of law, including corporate, litigation, real estate and bankruptcy. My time at the The Daily Vidette, Illinois State University's student newspaper, provided me with experiences over the past two years that include student management, time management, editorial design and production, and media. Both positions held at The Daily Vidette allowed me to learn the process of newspaper design, production, ethics, and the individual work it takes to produce a student newspaper Monday through Friday. My internship with the McCormick Foundation was an invaluable experience where I learned how to communicate in a professional setting, think critically about state-based issues, and brainstorming with peers during meetings in order to better the Foundation.
