Troi Davis

Throughout law school, Troi pursued opportunities across a range of legal settings. She began her legal career as an SEO Law Fellow at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, where she gained early exposure to corporate law at one of the country's largest firms. She also worked with the U.S. Department of State Office of the Legal Adviser, clerked with Orleans Public Defenders, and worked on international human rights matters through Northwestern’s Bluhm Legal Clinic. She also held several student leadership positions, including serving as President of Northwestern’s Disability Law Society.

Troi's experience spans private practice, federal government, public defense, and international human rights, a breadth that gives her a clear understanding of how different legal career paths unfold. Having successfully navigated the law school admissions process herself, Troi understands that a strong application is about more than credentials. Her approach to coaching centers on helping applicants understand the entire narrative their application conveys, from their LSAT score and school-selection strategy to resumes, recommendations, and personal statements. She is particularly skilled at helping students identify the experiences and qualities that distinguish them and translating those strengths into a cohesive, authentic application.

Troi’s greatest strengths are her writing and editing skills, strategic thinking, and ability to make unfamiliar concepts approachable. She believes effective advising should never be one-size-fits-all and works to understand each student’s goals, background, and priorities before developing a personalized strategy. She pairs candid advice with encouragement and practical next steps, helping students approach the admissions process with greater confidence and clarity.

In her free time, Troi enjoys exploring Chicago's neighborhoods and restaurants, reading classic literature, cooking, and spending what she describes as entirely too much time analyzing movies and television. Troi is also a classically trained jazz vocalist and former pianist.
