◆ Lawyer & Innovator Skilled in Advancing and Defending Corporate Interests in Complex Environments ◆As a seasoned litigator, I’ve demonstrated career flexibility and resilience with my successful transition from Big Law to trusted in-house counsel for a dynamic tech start-up. With focused energy, I built upon my strengths as a negotiator, trusted corporate risk counselor and high stakes arbitrator to put myself to the test in a novel environment, where I single handedly manage all legal functions. Now I’m ready for the next challenge.My goal is to leverage my diverse experience for an organization facing myriad legal concerns in a modern landscape and work across departments with colleagues who respect one another. I’ve always wanted to be an attorney. My father, a sole practitioner, took me along to court, where I gained immense respect for the inherent civility of such an adversarial profession. I worked in his law office during college summers. To test my commitment, I took a detour after college graduation as an executive assistant in the securities industry. After four years on Wall Street, I answered the clarion call to immerse myself in the intricacies of law and haven’t looked back. Foremost, the law should serve the greater good. I enjoy the collaborative nature and the intellectual challenge of practicing law, while being passionate about giving back pro bono, particularly to help senior citizens. I strive to educate business people on how the judicial system works and how it can help them achieve goals. My successes involve implementing nationwide defense strategies for clients facing multi-million dollar claims and mediating high stakes matters prior to litigation. Deep experience in state and federal courts and the cultural adaptability I developed traveling all over the world set me apart from my peers.I'm also a firm believer in paying it forward, so I am thrilled to be on the Board of Directors of the Business Executives Networking Group and Vice President of Membership Services, so I can help executives in career transition.► Look no further if you need a Litigator or Corporate Counsel and Mentor to guide your corporation through every evolution.
