As head of the Civil Service Commission - National Capital Region, she reviewed the work of ten other investigators/personnel and guided them in the disposition of their cases. After her six-year stint with the Civil Service Commission, where she was promoted every year, she moved on to the most powerful graft body in the Philippines - the Office of the Ombudsman.
In this role, her work involved drafting legal opinions and defending the office's decisions by addressing pleadings to appellate courts.

While in medical school, Fatuma has started an organization to provide mentorship to pre-medical students from underrepresented backgrounds and has received a Deans Award for Public Service. She is very passionate about helping students reach their full potential and achieve their dreams of becoming physicians and hopes to do the same at Inspira.
At Michigan State University, Florence received several honors, including the Order of Merit Community Service Award, the ASMSU John McQuitty Student Advocacy Award, the Michigan State University Honors College National Scholarship, and was named a Truman Finalist. During her time in college, she served as the President of the Honors College Dean's Advisory Council and Vice President of the African Students Union.
At the CUNY School of Law, Florence received the Children’s Rights and Haywood Burns Fellowships. She was active on campus as a member of the National Lawyers Guild, International Refugee Assistance Project, Black Law Students Association, and Racial and Social Justice Orientation Planning Committee.
Florence played a pivotal role in nationwide efforts to provide legal services to Afghan parolees arriving in the U.S. following the August 2021 evacuation. While working at Church World Service, she handled numerous asylum cases, proudly noting that every application she submitted was approved.
Throughout her career, Florence has supported prospective law students as an admissions coach. Having navigated the admissions journey herself without prior guidance, she is passionate about sharing her insights to help others succeed. Her extensive legal experience has deepened her understanding of how students can connect their unique experiences to future success in law school and beyond. Having worked with people from places like Afghanistan, Ghana, Mali, Honduras, and Colombia, she values meeting people where they are and prioritizing understanding their experiences.
Florence also recognizes the identity- and background-based barriers that often come with the admissions process and is dedicated to supporting students however she can. Drawing from her own experience and those she has mentored, she believes that students from all backgrounds, including those underrepresented, can successfully present themselves as competitive candidates. She hopes to continue this important work, especially in helping bring more students from underrepresented backgrounds into the legal community.
Florence is originally from Mississippi and is the child of Nigerian immigrants. She has had a multicultural upbringing and has been fortunate to experience life in various parts of the U.S.
Foster has a Bachelor’s degree in Acting from Yale University and a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre from Vanderbilt University. He is currently a JD candidate at the Harvard School of Law. Foster has coached over 100 law school applicants and LSAT students both one-on-one and in class settings.
Foster is passionate about helping future law school students build their argument analysis and construction skills in preparation for the LSAT. He values logic and reasoning as a central tenet of a well-functioning democracy. Foster loves coming up with unique examples to illuminate answer choices in the Logical Reasoning section of the LSAT. As a coach, his strengths lie in his ability to explain concepts in different ways depending on a student’s particular learning style and experience. While his hypotheticals may sometimes get a little convoluted, they are exciting to piece together. Additionally, Foster thrives on being able to coach Juris students in the art of presenting arguments and supporting their conclusions which is essential to the study of law and the law school application process.
Applicants Foster has recently coached have received acceptances at top law schools such as the University of Michigan Law, Columbia Law, the Duke University School of Law, Georgetown University Law Centre, and the University of Notre Dame Law.
When Foster isn’t coaching, he loves writing songs and practicing the instruments he has collected over the years. He also enjoys reading historical non-fiction and hanging out with his beagle, Emerald Lou.
