What is your favorite thing about the law?
There is so much of it out there that you can often find a solution to a client’s legal problem even if things look bleak at first.
What was your first job?
Scooping ice cream, working the waffle cone maker and fighting with the frozen yogurt machine at the Big Dipper in Prospect, CT.
What advice would you give to a young student in law school?
Study hard, but have fun and pursue other interests as well. Law school is a good place to begin practicing the work/life balance that you’ll need to figure out when you start working.
How do you define a good day?
Finding a case that says what I want it to say, getting a good result for a client, knowing what we are going to have for dinner before I get home.
How do you spend your weekend?
Hanging out with my husband and two small kids.
