"I was much more of a litigator."

"I direct cases… I like to say I'm a cat herder. That means I keep the trains running, I make sure everything happens on time."

"Even going to court these days, except for trials, we're usually appearing virtually."

"Being a good writer is probably the most critical skill for any lawyer"

"I love learning new technologies. Every case is a new technology."

"As a type-A control freak, letting go can be difficult. But that's part of the job."

"I love what I do. I love helping people. I love telling their stories."

"To really thrive, especially in a law firm, you do need to have, be a team player. That's incredibly important."

"Keep in touch with your classmates...they're potential clients for you and potential contacts who could introduce you to clients."

"to actually be a lawyer though, you do have to go to law school and you have to pass the bar, um, in the state that you'd like to work in."

"I make a point of making sure that everyone is actually heard and that they feel heard"

"it was something that I enjoyed and I think that's, again, what's most important is finding something that you're passionate about."

"I'm not gonna lie and say it's easy 'cause it's not. Being a mom is hard. Being a lawyer is hard. Being a partner in a law firm is hard."

"The political science essays that I wrote very much helped prepare me for the legal memos and then legal briefs that I write today."
