"I was born and raised in New York City and my family is Puerto Rican. Knowing that my job enables me to help people from all walks of life and that I can make an ever greater impact when I become an attorney is exciting." She admires the culture at the firm, especially how the team provides the support and consideration needed to thrive at work. Tahlya has many interests and a very full schedule. She says, "If I'm not at school or in the office, I like to cook, read or catch up on sleep. I also try to dedicate time to social justice causes that help mentor Hispanic and minorities to navigate the field of law."
