What drew you to a career in law?
I have wanted to be an attorney since I was a child. In fact, I wrote “lawyer” on an index card at Career Day in Kindergarten. As my father would say, I have always liked to argue and persuade others to adopt my point of view. While I did not know it at the time, my career decision was later validated when I discovered that lawyers affect change. I have been fortunate to participate in many important legal changes over the course of my career, including advocating for Central American asylum seekers looking for refuge in the United States, counseling clients on policy changes to best combat hackers and prevent or mitigate data breaches, and assisting an air ambulance company battle preempted state laws across the country.
