I played basketball all my life through college, so I sought a career that combined competitiveness and problem-solving. Being in the courtroom is the closest feeling I’ve found to being on the basketball court, and that energy keeps me motivated and engaged. I’m a hard worker and natural problem solver, so I don’t let bumps in the road stop me from finding a solution. I persevere, and I have the grit to see things through and get the job done.
