What was your most rewarding professional achievement? 

It's difficult to pinpoint one experience I find to be my most rewarding professional achievement. I'd say I've felt most rewarded in my professional career when I've taken my knowledge or skill and positively impacted someone else's life. hat includes walking my clients out of court after a winning verdict, mentoring a law student, sharing legal knowledge with colleagues, or teaching street law at the juvenile detention center.

What advice do you have for women in the legal profession?

Be an ally and support other women. If you’re in a position of power, help other women rise as well. mpower the women around you. Perhaps Madeleine Albright said it best: “There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."

What does your community service involvement look like?

I particularly enjoy volunteering my time at women's shelters and for organizations that benefit children.

When you have 30 minutes of free time, how do you use it?

Depends on the needs of that day. Sometimes it's taking my dog for a walk in nature, other days it's watching Netflix, and sometimes it's connecting with friends and family.
