Back in 2015, Alisen Kotyk enrolled in the legal assistant program at Herzing College as a way to build a more secure and fulfilling future. She thrived in Herzing’s close-knit, supportive environment, and landed a legal assistant job at a boutique criminal firm shortly after graduating.
She loved the work and found meaning in it. But after a while, she felt driven to do more. So she went on to complete her BA and finish law school. Today, she’s a civil litigator at Myers LLP, a mid-size Winnipeg firm.
We spoke with Alisen recently to learn more about her inspiring journey and how Herzing set her up for success. Here are the highlights of that conversation.
