Other things about me...
Greatest professional accomplishment:
My greatest professional accomplishment to date has been gaining the respect of my peers and clients. It means a lot to me that my contribution to our legal community and to my clients has meaning and is considered to be at a high standard.
Greatest professional challenge:
My greatest professional challenge has been to make the switch from being a criminal prosecutor to that of a civil attorney. The law, the people, and the life is so different, but I am so glad to have made the change! Also, as a working mom of two small children, being a full time attorney can be extremely challenging. However, SMT is very family oriented, which has made the challenge so much easier.
Best advice received
To listen. I am an extrovert by nature and love to talk but so much can be gained by simply paying attention.
