Hello! I’m Adriana Sepúlveda and I am in the Law and Paralegal Studies program because I want to be a paralegal. My background is in the music business so my goal is to work at an entertainment law firm or in the legal department of a record label. I previously went to college in Boston where I graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Music Industry. I initially wanted to be an entertainment lawyer however, that changed throughout my college career and I decided to take the Public Relations route. After graduating, I moved to New York and started working in music PR. Eventually, I decided it wasn’t for me but being my only real experience, I was in and out of PR jobs, assistant positions, internships, and the restaurant industry. After many jobs, years, and industries later I decided to revisit my interest in law!

Jumping back into school after almost 7 years was something that definitely made me nervous but I’m excited about this new chapter. I can’t wait to start the process and learn about the paralegal world.

Aside from school, I’m currently a server at a few different restaurants. When I’m not working or watching Netflix, I have few hobbies including gardening, going to concerts, and crocheting. During the gardening season, I grow peppers (habaneros, jalapeños, banana peppers), tomatoes, and basil. With crocheting, I have made blankets, pet sweaters, scrunchies, and shorts. I live with my twin sister in Brooklyn and we have two cats — an orange tabby named Isosceles and a calico/tabby mix named Una. I grew up in Texas and as a few others mentioned, I am Puerto Rican. Since my parents spoke Spanish around the house I can understand a little bit but my goal is to eventually learn enough to at least understand it completely. I am also trying to amp up my reading with my 2021 goal being to read 10 books, stay tuned.

Excited for the semester ahead!

Here are the kiddos!
