What is the accomplishment that you are most proud of?

After an accomplished career in human resources, in 2003 I decided to build on that experience by going to law school to become an employment attorney. While that type of major career shift can be intimidating, I am extremely proud of the decision to follow my passion and pursue a new profession as an attorney. It is incredibly gratifying to be able to help HR professionals and management navigate the complexities of employment law and compliance.

What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned as an attorney?

My career in human resources taught me the value of client service to internal and external clients. As an attorney, I carried that lesson to the next level. Being a trusted adviser to my clients and to my colleagues at Baker Donelson is about more than knowing the law. It’s about understanding their needs, industries, and obstacles, and working side-by-side with them to help them achieve their objectives.

How do you spend your free time?

My passions include dining with friends, reading historical and non-fiction novels, and cardio and weight training. While these are all activities I truly enjoy, I find they also are great ways to help me be better at my job. They give me the ability to relax and be my best self. I learn so much from my reading, which keeps me mentally sharp, and the exercise not only helps me physically, but also helps me stay disciplined and focused.
