Hey, I'm LuLu Shamberg! I'm a sophomore at NYU Stern, originally from Los Angeles, California. I'm double majoring in Marketing and Global Business with a minor in Public Policy Management. As of right now, I'm strongly considering going to law school after I graduate. This summer, I interned with the Sales team at BuzzFeed and would love to work in advertising in some capacity. As far as outside of school, I've been horseback riding competitively for 12 years, and I went to the Junior Olympics in 2014. I also love to travel and am going to be studying abroad in Madrid next semester!

Hi! My name is Rina, and I am a junior at CAS studying History and Computer Science. However, my majors don't tell the full tale - I am also a piano player, snowboarder and writer, amongst others! I have a variety of interests but have wanted to go to law school ever since I was 9 years old and read my first John Grisham novel. As the Marketing Chair of SBLA, I cannot wait to get to know all of you and help put on fascinating events. When I'm not marketing, you can find me at a law firm, at the mayor's office, by a piano, at NYU Bridges or the IR Society, or strolling this wonderful city.
