Background:
Cristina Nahidi is not a native Texan, but is now proud to call the Lone Star state her home. While at the University of Pennsylvania, Cristina studied psychology and political science and was an active member of student government, serving as Vice-Chair of the Student Activities Council and overseeing an annual budget of approximately $600,000 for over 250 on-campus student organizations.
During her time at The University of Texas at Austin School of Law, Cristina sought out hands-on practical experience outside the classroom by participating in mock trial and mediation competitions, the Criminal Defense Clinic, and the Advanced Civil Litigation Seminar.
Upon graduation, Cristina interned for the Attorney General of Texas in the General Litigation Division, and then joined Pulman Cappuccio Pullen & Benson as an associate.
