While many begin their legal careers straight out of high school, Melissa Rowlands emphasises that it’s never too late to enter the profession and pursue your passion – even if that journey comes with steep challenges and bold leaps of faith.
In a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Melissa Rowlands, a family law paralegal completing her juris doctor, about what drove her to leave a comfortable communications role to pursue law later in life, the fear and excitement of jumping into the deep end of a completely new career, and the biggest challenge she faces: juggling motherhood, work, and study all at once.
