Q. What's your favorite quote?
A. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" Martin Luther King Jr

Q. What year did you join NJAJ?
A. 2011

Q.  Why did you join NJAJ?
A. At the recommendation of the managing partner of my firm as a way to connect with more colleagues both in my field of practice and as possible referral partners in other practice areas. It was a great way to learn about employment law and also ultimately position myself as someone with "expertise" in this area.

Q. Why did you become involved in the WTLC?
A. There are fewer women lawyers who are able to commit to litigation and trial practice for various reasons - it is a very demanding area of the law. I feel it is important for those of us who do take this path to support one another both professionally and personally. I love connecting with and learning from the women of the WTLC without judgment!

Q. Why did you become a lawyer?
A. Apparently from a very young age, I told my family I was going to be a lawyer. I have no idea why, as there are no lawyers in my family, nor do I remember our family having any involvement in legal proceedings. I think maybe a grandparent suggested it due to my propensity for arguing with my parents and the need to always be right. It stuck and even as an undergrad, I knew I was going to become an attorney.

Q. What do you like to do in your free time?
A. I have two school-aged kids, so my "free time" (does anybody actually have this?) is often spent carting them to and from their various sports and activities. I love to cook and bake, especially with my kids, and am well known for gifting baked goods to friends and co-workers. Dance has been my passion and my outlet since I was two years old, and I continue to take dance classes as an adult. The dance floor is my favorite place to be when I'm not helping clients.
