"I take pride in the opportunity to connect and engage with clients. It’s very rewarding to get to know the people we represent, familiarize myself with all aspects of their businesses, and successfully guide them through their legal issues. I particularly enjoy the intellectual challenges inherent in the employment law field and the complex cases it yields."
