Hustle Culture: Thriving While Disabled in a High Stress Industry | Gemma del Carmen | TEDxBU
Navigating law school and high-pressure industries with an invisible disability, and how sometimes slowing down is the smartest move of all. Gemma del Carmen is a third year law student at Boston University School of Law. Gemma is originally from Arlington, Texas and received her Bachelors in Political Science and Psychology from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. While in D.C., Gemma interned on Capitol Hill, worked in political opposition research, and served as Student Body Vice President. Since attending law school, Gemma has worked in-house for a fashion company, worked in health law litigation, and worked at the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. After graduating in May and (hopefully) passing the bar exam, Gemma will clerk on the First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston and then join a big law firm in its litigation department. In her free time, Gemma throws at her local pottery studio, sews, needlepoints, and spends time with her friends thrifting throughout Massachusetts.
