Personal leadership style: “The cornerstones of my leadership style are transparency and leading by example. Be open and honest about what we are doing and why, and fostering an open dialogue so that everyone’s voices are heard. And don’t just tell people what to do; show them the dedication and quality in your own actions.”
Key to success: “A good lawyer is a good advisor. That means being open and honest with my clients about the strengths and weaknesses of their case. And that transparency is a big reason why my clients keep coming back to me when they need legal advice.”
Source of pride: “I was selected to join the steering committee of Littler’s Women’s Leadership Initiative. I take a lot of pride in developing strategies to advance and retain women in the workplace and continuing Littler’s tradition of being a top firm for women and diverse attorneys.”
