PANEL IV – Seeing Through the OCI Sales Pitch: The Human Resources Perspective will be co-lead by Tiffany McQueen, Senior Attorney Recruiting Coordinator at Kirkland & Ellis LLP (Los Angeles, CA). Tiffany climbed the corporate ladder and discovered her passion for helping others succeed. Overcoming fear and imposter syndrome, Tiffany had to learn how to carve out a new and exciting path for herself and has managed to maintain previous relationships, while fostering new ones.
Over time, Tiffany took strides at focusing more on the world of recruiting by getting more involved in the legal community. She is now one of four West/Rocky Mountain Regional Representatives for the National Association of Law Placement (NALP), she recently became the Chair of the Los Angeles Area Legal Recruitment Association’s (LAALRA) Public Relations Committee and also serves as a member of LAALRA’s Diversity Committee. Taking this career leap made way for her to hone her skills as a legal recruiter.

She is responsible for counseling students, administering the office’s educational programming, and she is USC Gould’s public sector careers specialist. Rachel received her JD from University of Miami School of Law and is admitted to the state bars of Florida and California.
Rachel is no stranger to empowering womxn. Having served as an attorney and director of Legal Services at the Harriet Buhai Center for Family Law in Los Angeles, Rachel supervised volunteers and staff, revised the center’s handbook on domestic violence, and gave presentations and conducted trainings, worked with public interest groups, and participated in the planning of local and statewide legal trainings. In addition, Rachel served on the executive committee for the Family Law Section of the Los Angeles County Bar Association.
