Fun Facts
I am the youngest of five children and am a first-generation college and law school graduate. In my free time, I enjoy anything sports-related. I volunteer on my daughter's city softball league where I work with young players, providing emotional support and teaching fundamentals of softball, sportsmanship and teamwork.
About Me
I am currently a licensed attorney in Arizona, practicing in civil litigation. I enjoy teaching and mentoring students, clients, and new employees about the law. In addition, I enjoy mentoring young people and helping them achieve their full potential, both academically and personally.
Experience
As a member of the Academic Success Program at Syracuse University College of Law, I had the opportunity to mentor first-year law students in the areas of Civil Procedure and Constitutional Law. The experience included small group sessions, one-on-one sessions, and reviewing/editing answers to mock exam questions. I have also trained many new employees in a law office and routinely have to explain complicated legal issues to clients with no legal experience.
Approach
Throughout life, I have struggled with self-confidence and anxiety, particularly in high-pressure situations. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity throughout my career to learn from many attorneys, professors and other professionals. As a result, I have developed tools to manage anxiety and have gained more self-confidence. I believe that positive feedback, learning through actively participating, and repetition are key to succeeding in any field.
