Tell us a little bit about yourself and your law practice.
I am a 7-year attorney with a defense practice focused on product liability and personal injury litigation. I defend clients in the automotive, ride-share, technology, construction, and heavy machinery sectors. In my free time, I enjoy running and just completed my first marathon, the Houston Marathon, in 2025. My husband and I attend all of the UT football home games and together, we have two goldendoodles named Teddy and Bear.
How long have you been involved in AYLA and what has been your best AYLA experience so far?
I have been involved in AYLA for about 6 years now, and so far, my favorite AYLA experiences have been the holiday parties and the annual judicial receptions. These events are great ways to meet other lawyers outside of the office and in an enjoyable environment.
What was your childhood dream job?
When I was a little girl, my childhood dream job was to be a professional ballerina in New York City.
What are some of things you enjoy most about living in Austin?
There are so many things that I enjoy about living in Austin. We love paddleboarding on the lake, going to UT sporting events and concerts, trying new restaurants, and having several options for running, hiking and walking outdoors.
What’s your best piece of advice for young attorneys?
My best piece of advice for young attorneys would be to learn from and cherish the senior attorneys and partners who provide direct mentorship and guidance. Having mentors in the legal profession is so important and finding leaders who want to see you succeed can be essential to having an enjoyable practice. I am very grateful for those attorneys who mentored me when I had just passed the bar exam and will never forget the skills and legal strategies that they taught me. All of my mentors have played an important part in molding me into the attorney that I am today.
