An introductory post from student blogger Nicole<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello fellow Patent Law students, my name is Nicole Reilly and I\u2019ve come all the way from Rowan University in New Jersey to study this awesome program!\u00a0 Being a civil engineering student has taught me how to work hard and efficiently during my college career.\u00a0 Throughout the years I learned a lot, but by the time senior year came I knew something wasn\u2019t right; something was missing.\u00a0 I realized that I didn\u2019t want to settle as just an engineer, I wanted something different.\u00a0 I knew I had to find a way to use my engineering abilities but not as an engineer.\u00a0 Of course this was a huge deal considering I spent four years working towards a specific degree.\u00a0 I liked the classes and everything, but I wasn\u2019t interested in a typical day of a civil engineer.\u00a0 So one day I was going through my emails and stumbled upon the MS in Patent Law email from the University of Notre Dame.\u00a0 I read about it and looked more into it on the MS in Patent Law page on the University\u2019s website.\u00a0 I realized that this would be perfect for me!\u00a0 What better way of using my engineering skills in a different field.\u00a0 It\u2019s actually funny to think about because when I was younger I always wanted to be a lawyer, but I was too young to know which kind or even if I really wanted to do it.\u00a0 Now I have the opportunity to become a patent agent that combines my childhood dream and my engineering degree.\u00a0 Not only will I be able to help people with their inventions, I will be able to hear about all kinds of new inventions.<\/p>\n

Speaking of new inventions, I\u2019ve always thought of myself as an amateur inventor.\u00a0 I am constantly thinking of new inventions.\u00a0 Every idea, every thought I have is written down.\u00a0 I have a section in the notes on my phone where I write down all the ideas that I think of or that pop into my head.\u00a0 I want to be able to use my love of inventions towards helping other people fulfill their dreams, turning their inventions into realities and what better way to do that then becoming a Patent Agent!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
