Being a business owner and full time law student is no joke, but Medha Krishen balances it all with grace and enthusiasm. Medha is a chef, food blogger, and J.D. candidate at CWR Law School. She started her catering business when she was in high school and grew it throughout her time at Michigan, taking on many catering orders while also studying History and International Studies (‘20). Her love for serving her clients and creatives, along with the LSA skills she built at Michigan, encouraged Medha to pursue her law degree after graduation. Medha returns to LSA to share strategies on how she stays organized, realities of starting your own business, and how to know if law school is your next best step.

About Medha:

Medha is currently a Norman A. Sugarman Business Law Scholar at Case Western Reserve Law School and also a chef. Medha is from NYC and Fort Gratiot, MI. During her time at U-M, she was able to intern abroad in Germany, India, and Canada. After graduating from U-M in 2020, she worked in foreign policy and politics before taking her catering and food blog business full time in August 2021. Medha hopes to pursue a career in business and intellectual property law and one day legally represent creatives and entrepreneurs.
