What do you attribute your success to?
I credit my success to the guidance and support of remarkable mentors I have been blessed to encounter on this legal path, whose encouragement helped shape my professional growth and direction. Inspired by their many example, I am committed to giving back by supporting the next generation of attorneys. I actively engage with young lawyers through the ABA’s JIOP program and participate in helping judge many mock trial competitions, helping to develop emerging talent, strengthen the legal community, and carry forward the mentorship that has been so impactful in my own career.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received is to invest in relationships and seek guidance from those who have walked the path before you. Early in my career, mentors emphasized that professional growth isn’t just about skill or knowledge—it’s about learning from others, embracing opportunities to serve, and paying that guidance forward. This advice shaped how I approach my career: I prioritize building meaningful connections, staying engaged in programs like ABA’s JIOP, and supporting emerging attorneys. It’s a reminder that success is not just personal achievement, but also contributing to a stronger, more inclusive legal community.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering the legal profession is to be confident in your abilities, seek out mentors, and never underestimate the power of your voice. The legal field can be demanding, but opportunities expand when you actively pursue guidance, embrace challenging experiences, and build a strong professional network. Get involved in programs like ABA’s JIOP or CLEO, participate in advocacy and leadership opportunities, and don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself. Equally important, prioritize balance and self-care—sustaining your well-being is essential to long-term success. Remember, your perspective and contributions are valuable, and paving the way for others strengthens both your career and the profession as a whole.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
In litigation and insurance defense today, one of the biggest challenges is the increasing complexity of claims and regulatory requirements. Cases often involve multi-jurisdictional issues, evolving technology, and data-driven evidence, which requires attorneys to stay constantly informed and adaptable. Another challenge is managing expectations in an era of high litigation costs and public scrutiny, where clients demand both efficiency and favorable outcomes.
At the same time, there are significant opportunities. The use of technology and analytics is transforming how cases are investigated, evaluated, and resolved, allowing for more strategic decision-making and risk management. There is also an increasing emphasis on alternative dispute resolution and early settlements, which can create space for creative, results-driven solutions while preserving client relationships. Finally, the growing focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion presents an opportunity to reshape the legal culture, foster more collaborative teams, and ensure a profession that better reflects the communities it serves.
In short, while the field presents complex challenges, it also rewards attorneys who can combine legal expertise with strategic thinking, adaptability, and a commitment to advancing the profession.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that guide me both professionally and personally are integrity, service, and balance. Integrity means approaching every matter—whether a complex case or a personal commitment—with honesty, accountability, and ethical clarity. Service reflects my dedication to supporting others, whether it’s advocating for clients, contributing to the legal community through programs like JIOP and CLEO, or empowering youth through outreach and education. Balance is equally important; maintaining boundaries and prioritizing well-being allows me to lead with focus, sustain high performance, and show up fully for both my clients and my community. Together, these values shape the way I approach challenges, relationships, and opportunities for impact.
