Who is AK?
Most of my family works in the health care industry, including my mom. Watching what they endure to serve in these positions inspired me. I wanted to support them, and Illinois Tech’s Chicago-Kent College of Law had the programs, resources, and opportunities to get me to my dream job: working for health care workers’ unions.
That’s Interesting
One of my first real jobs was working for my alderman’s office on Chicago’s South Side. I got to know the residents as I took calls about filling a pothole or because I would have to listen in on a tax meeting. It really helped me understand that for my community to be better, the workers in it had to be more powerful.
