She served as the group's recording secretary in 1995. She now is a volunteer with Amicus Polonaie of Chicago, a non-profit, volunteer legal clinic for Polish Americans.
Before enrolling in law school, Petrik, the daughter of Michael Petrik and Theresa Petrik, both of Buffalo, N.Y, worked for Manufacturers and Traders Trust Corp. of Buffalo as a mortgage processor and later as an attorney liaison.
At John Marshall, Petrik is president of the Student Bar Association, and a member of the Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity-Lincoln Chapter, the John Marshall Law School International Law Society, and the Advocates Society of Chicago.
