December Spotlight: Angie Sung

1. What is your name? 

Angie Sung

2. Current place of work/title?

PortaLaw, Lawyer

3. How did you first get involved with FACL BC?

A friend from law school invited me to a FACL Mentorship Roundtable event. I joined the board as a student director soon after.

4. What has been your favourite FACL event or initiative so far?

So hard to choose, because every FACL event has been a great time! But being a part of the producing team of the "But I look like a Lawyer" documentary has been one of the most meaningful projects I've been a part of in my legal career so far. I am also a big fan of the FACL mentorship program, and am still closely connected with my amazing mentor whom I met in 1L. I hope to join as a mentor in the upcoming years. 

5. What advice would you give yourself if you were to go back in time?

Do your own thing. There is no need to feel like you have to follow the traditional path, or copy what everyone else is doing to "fit the mold". Your authenticity is your power, and key to a happy and fulfilling career. 

6. What is something that not many people know about you?

I downloaded TikTok during the pandemic (because I was bored in the house), and became internet famous by accident.
