My Why
What powers my practice
Before college, an internship at a human rights organization in Jerusalem—and a mentor’s charge to “Know what is fair. Know what is unfair. Then act.”—set me on the path to law school with a passion for justice. While my career ultimately led to corporate litigation, that early commitment to fairness remains central to how I practice today. In high-stakes, complex matters, I’m most fulfilled when relentless preparation and strategic clarity shift outcomes in meaningful ways. Fairness, to me, means ensuring every client is heard, every issue is examined, and every decision is grounded in integrity. That same principle shapes how I lead and support others. Whether mentoring junior attorneys, collaborating with colleagues, or guiding our Women’s Development Group, I see fairness as a daily practice. I hope clients and teammates alike experience me as a steady presence who brings clarity, integrity, and relentless effort to every matter, and delivers results that reflect those values.
