Haydee Sera:
Hi everyone! My name is Haydee (sounds like “Heidi”) Sera and I am a native Miamian. I graduated from the University of Miami School of Business in 2006 where I majored in Marketing and in May 2009 I graduated from the School of Law. As a law student I interned with a judge in Miami-Dade’s criminal court system and worked at a small civil law firm. I also served on the Honor Council, was a project leader for Books & Buddies, participated in Orientation, and helped as a UM Law Ambassador. During the school year I enjoy rooting for the UM football and basketball teams. On the weekends I like to escape to Fort Myers Beach where I enjoy boating with my family. I love to travel and just got back from a post-Bar trip to Italy. If you have any questions about law school, jobs, student activities, sporting events, and/or Miami life in general, please feel free to ask me on the Bricks or through email at hsera@law.miami.edu.
