What do you love/hate about being a lawyer?
I love the opportunity to help people and be my own boss. Hearing clients tell me how I helped change their lives for the better makes the difficult days worth it.
Name the latest show/podcast/book you’ve binged:
Broadchurch on PBS
Why did you get involved with KWAA?
I knew I wanted to open a law practice and I needed some connections so I would have a supportive network around me.
If you wrote a book about your career so far, what would you title it? Why?
Three Lefts Make a Right. My first year of law school I was quite certain I was in the wrong place. Upon graduating from law school I was certain I had made a horrible decision becoming an attorney. My employment after law school was not changing my mind. Once I opened my own practice I fully began to appreciate being a lawyer. I have the ability to run my office and make a living while practicing the areas of law that interest me.
What superpower would you choose for yourself?
Invisibility
Tell us about your kids, pets, or plants.
I have two daughters 9 and 3 who make life fun. We have two dogs, 1 Bassett and 1 Bassador. I love growing native flowers, annuals, perennials, and vegetables for myself, neighbors, pollinators, and my local wildlife (like the mouse I caught eating tomatoes).
