LYNN — Summa cum laude, Princeton University. Business consultant with McKinsey and Company in New York City and Mexico City. Cum laude, Harvard University Law School. Jared Nicholson’s resume suggests he could go pretty much anywhere and do anything.

Nicholson is one of 28 nationwide recipients of a Skadden Foundation Fellowship.
