My Why

What powers my practice

When I worked in a corporate law department as an undergraduate, I never dreamt of becoming a lawyer until the attorneys I worked with encouraged me to consider law school. At the time, I was also volunteering at a rape crisis center and came to appreciate how I could help people navigate matters with life-changing consequences. During my career, I have learned to collaborate creatively with attorneys inside and outside my firm to deliver the best outcomes for my clients and I feel a deep satisfaction in making their lives better. I have longstanding relationships with likeminded people to raise money and awareness for causes we care about. Above all, I want people to know I am committed to excellence and genuinely invested in helping those who need my expertise.
