Nice to meet you!
The Person Behind the Student
Hi all! I’m Elayna, and I’m the creator of this blog. My biggest goal since beginning law school has been to achieve a balanced lifestyle, hence the name: Law Student Balance.
Learner
I go to law school in Minnesota, and my journey throughout has always been about the promotion of social justice and equity-focused policies. I hope to carry these values into my practice as an attorney in a couple short years. My current role as a law clerk working in consumer litigation has been extremely rewarding due to its alignment with my principles.
Fitness Instructor
Exercise has always been a big part of my life. I find it helps with stress and makes me feel strong and motivated to do anything. This past spring, I took the leap and became a certified Yoga Sculpt instructor! I teach once a week to a class full of amazing individuals and it has quickly become my favorite part of every week.
Cat Mom
I adopted my cat, Jasper, during my first semester of law school. I was worried having a pet would add to the stress of being a law student, but he has had the opposite effect. Having a pet is a big responsibility, but it feels great putting time and energy into something other than myself. Jasper is 4 years old, but has the energy of a kitten!
