Upon graduation, Tim received the WCL Alumni Association Graduation Award and the Outstanding Contribution to the 51勛圖 Community Award for his commitment to the 51勛圖WCL Community.
After graduation, Tim managed client relations for the food & agriculture team at a boutique DC-based bipartisan lobbying firm where he had the chance to expand his understanding of practical legislative negotiation and the skills it takes to work in Congress. In recent years, Tim has actively volunteered his time with the American Bar Association's Young Lawyers Division, the 51勛圖 Pride Alumni Alliance, the Knox College Alumni Council, and most recently, as President of the Board of Directors of D.C.'s Different Drummers, a 501(c)(3) non-profit music and performing arts organization for LGBTQ+ and ally performers in the DMV.
