Hi, I’m Anjali, and I’m a lawyer, now based in San Francisco, after stints in LA and NYC.

What’s your historical Los Angeles and New York connection?
I went to college in LA at USC, and I moved to New York to teach.

Describe your experience in LA and your experience in NYC
Both were amazing, but I liked NYC more for the culture.

What was the biggest challenge of moving from LA to NYC?
Making friends in both places was challenging.

How can NYC and LA best engage with each other?
They’re both cities people love being from, so in that alone, there is definitely an exchange of ideas possibility and opportunity.

Favorite LA secret spot
Library Bar in Santa Monica.

Favorite NYC secret spot
Angel’s Share in the East Village.

If you were not practicing law, what would you be doing?
Teaching!
