Hello! I am Elliana Garrett, and I am so excited to begin my role as an administrative assistant at Stock Legal! Although I grew up in the St. Louis area, I took on the great adventure of moving to Irvine, California, for my undergraduate education. In December of 2024, I graduated from Concordia University Irvine with a bachelor's in behavioral sciences and a minor in Law and Politics. I loved the liberal arts education I received at Concordia. I hope to apply what I’ve learned both in my character and task completion here at Stock Legal.
Growing up, I was always characterized as a “strong willed” girl. In adulthood, that has translated to a constant search for answers, empathy, and justice. These values are what led me to pursue a career in law.
I plan to attend law school in the fall of 2026. I am spending the next 16 months preparing and applying to law schools and gaining valuable experience at Stock Legal. I am so grateful to the Stock Legal team for affording me the incredible opportunity to experience the interworking of a legal office, especially one so focused on community, vulnerability, and generosity. I look forward to fulfilling this administrative role and completing tasks that support the legal team.
