What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to perseverance, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose. I am especially proud of being the first person on my mother’s side of the family to earn a four-year degree, which I completed as a single mother working full-time and a part-time job while earning $13 an hour. After the birth of my youngest child—16 years younger than my first—I experienced postpartum depression, and during that difficult time I realized I needed something of my own to continue growing, which led me to pursue my master’s degree. I now have one year remaining, was inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success in June, and continue to balance full-time work and graduate studies while showing my children the value of persistence and hard work.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering my industry is to remember that a setback is not a rejection—it is simply a signal to pause, adjust, and try again later.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my field right now is the lack of gender representation, particularly in professional settings where I am often the only woman among several male counterparts. In my experience, it is typically a ratio of one woman to about seven men in the room, which can present unique dynamics in communication and decision-making. At the same time, this highlights a significant opportunity: building stronger networks among women in the legal field. Connecting with other women who understand these shared challenges provides valuable support, perspective, and mentorship, and helps create greater visibility and advancement for women in the profession.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The most important value in both my work and personal life is family. Every Sunday, my husband and I host a standing Sunday dinner where all of our children, our grandbaby, and extended “bonus” family and friends are welcome, making it a meaningful weekly tradition centered on togetherness, connection, and making memories. Outside of that, I value balance and joy in everyday life, including cheering on the Detroit Lions during football season, but ultimately my priority is ensuring that, despite work and school commitments, I consistently create time to be present with my family.
