Teresa McCahill
Marketing Coordinator
DLA Piper
How did you get into Legal Marketing?
I received my BS in Business Administration, with a dual concentration in Marketing and Law, from Boston University. When I decided to move back to Boston, I searched for jobs using “marketing” and “law” as keywords. When the Marketing Coordinator position at DLA Piper came up in the results, I applied right away. A few weeks later I was dancing for joy with my offer letter.
What aspect of the fellowship program are you most excited about?
I am very excited to get involved in the Chapter and work with some of the committees. I am a member of the Conference Committee planning this year’s Regional Conference. I am also going to be helping with the Chapter’s social media accounts. The Fellowship Program is an amazing opportunity and I am so pleased to be a 2015 Fellow.
If you weren’t in Legal Marketing, what would you be doing instead?
I would probably be in advertising. Before joining DLA Piper, I worked for a pharmaceutical advertising agency in New York as a Media Coordinator. My boss and I worked with our clients to place ads in medical journals, magazines and websites. It was a very interesting job!
What are three words others would use to describe you?
Organized, friendly and enthusiastic
If you could pick any place to live, where would it be?
I would stay right in Boston. I love this city (even when it is buried in snow). I like that I can walk around the entire city on a Saturday and see neighborhoods that are so different from each other - the North End, Quincy Market, Chinatown, Southie, the South End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Fenway, etc. The city is so diverse, yet so well connected. It is an amazing place.
If you had a superhero power, what would it be?
Teleportation. I want to visit my friends and family and see as much of the world as possible without the hassle (and cost!) of traveling.
