Life's an adventure! Chapters of my own include corporate lawyer, documentary filmmaker and legal recruiter; I've been an advocate in every role I've had which makes me uniquely qualified to represent you. Allow my experience to help you create the next chapter of your story. I graduated from the Australian National University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws.
Born and raised in Ohio, I am a Midwesterner at heart. My pursuit of a degree in International Relations in college took me around the world to Russia, the Middle East, and Europe. Through those experiences, I discovered my passion for connecting with people and cultures far and wide, and I also made the decision to attend law school.
I went to law school with Cam and know he's super focused on being as helpful as possible for his clients. I strongly believe that Taylor is well positioned to guide the next generation of lawyers along their career paths. I don't think I would have been nearly so focused or prepared without your help and encouragement.

The team at Above The Bar Legal Recruiting has been a pleasure to work with. Their commitment to elevating and recruiting diverse candidates in the legal industry is what impressed me. Not only are they diversity focused, but they really get to know candidates. By understanding the candidate's values, they match them to the right company culture that’s a perfect fit for them. I highly recommend any lawyer considering a legal job search to contact the ATB Team.

Matthew worked with me on a lateral move returning from in-house to private practice, something that is usually a more challenging placement. Given COVID restrictions, remote work, and summer schedules we all had to adapt to the new normal of Zoom interviews and longer timelines. Despite the challenges Matthew was great in helping me navigate the process from start to finish (an accepted offer) and matching my goals and experience with an awesome opportunity. Two weeks into the new role I'm more and more convinced it was the right move and would recommend AtB and Matthew to anyone considering a

Working with Matthew Pond made my job search experience pleasant and very manageable. Working and applying for new jobs at the same time can be stressful, but Matthew was able to guide me through the process seamlessly. From reviewing my resume to helping me prepare for interviews, I always felt secure knowing that there was someone I could ask for advice.

Taylor at Above the Bar is truly amazing! She takes the time to figure out what you are looking for in a new position and is extremely responsive when it comes to simple questions and following up on applications. She kept me updated on every step of the application process with numerous firms – this is something a lot of recruiters lack in. Unlike a lot of firms that take a "shotgun" approach, Taylor and her team have personal relationships with the firms that they recruit for. This makes a huge difference when firms are trying to differentiate between dozens, if not hundreds, of applications
