ABOUT RACHEL P.

I am a May 2025 graduate of Stetson University College of Law, currently preparing for the Tennessee Bar Exam in July 2026. I earned my bachelor\'s degree in Music Business with a minor in Public Relations from Middle Tennessee State University, and studied International Entertainment and Music Business Transactions at the University of Belize in Belmopan.With over four years of experience as a Law Clerk, I\'ve focused on intellectual property matters across trademark, copyright, and patent — including litigation support for infringement cases, administrative portfolio management and policing, advising clients on the protectability of their ideas and creative works, and rights of publicity.Before law school, I built a career in the entertainment industry, where I developed a deep passion for intellectual property law through firsthand experience navigating the legal complexities that artists and creators face. As a producer of large music events, I learned to lead and follow situationally — negotiating artist contracts, managing logistics, and stepping into whatever role the team needed. Those years taught me active listening, adaptability, and a grounded, team-first approach that translates directly into effective legal work.I am drawn to firms and organizations that value collaboration, creativity, and genuine commitment to their clients. My background gives me a unique perspective — I understand what clients are going through, and I am motivated to advocate for them effectively. Beyond intellectual property, I have a strong passion for one day serving as a civilian attorney for a military branch — an area I am eager to explore and grow in. Overall, my goal is to build a long-term career where purposeful work, strong client advocacy, and service are at the center of everything I do.
