The Role of Mentors in Your Life:  The legal field, especially litigation, is still very much a male dominated world. I have been very fortunate from the time I started law school through today to have female attorneys who were not only great at their jobs but willing give advice and lend their expertise. Sometimes just being able to talk to someone who has “been there” is a huge help.

Favorite Quotation:  "Let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere-be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost." - A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
