What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my professional success to a combination of strong family support, a positive and collaborative work environment, and the valuable experiences gained throughout my previous roles.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
With multiple bar admissions, including New York, New Jersey, the Second and Third Circuits, and several federal district courts, I’ve been fortunate to engage with a wide range of legal matters that reflect both the challenges and the opportunities in today’s legal landscape. These experiences have strengthened my ability to approach complex issues with a well-rounded, strategic perspective. Beyond my legal work, I remain committed to giving back through philanthropic efforts. I primarily support organizations such as World Central Kitchen and various local initiatives that address food insecurity and community resilience, causes that align with my values and allow me to contribute meaningfully outside of the courtroom.
