I had a career in journalism before my legal career, and it instilled in me several values that serve me well in my practice. First, I am a strong researcher and compelling writer, with a keen eye for detail. Second, I come prepared and am comfortable under a time crunch. Reporters cannot miss deadlines, and I don’t. Third, having conducted numerous interviews positioned me to succeed in depositions.
