Tell us more about your role.

I oversee PWSA’s legal affairs and serve as an advisor to counsel, support, and guide the organization on a comprehensive range of legal and strategic issues. I will also be building out and developing PWSA’s Legal Department.

Why did you join PWSA?

PWSA is beginning a new chapter in its story. I appreciate its commitment to redefining its role and purpose within the community and as an organization. I’m thrilled to contribute to and be a part of this journey with PWSA.

Why did you choose to pursue a legal career?

I’ve always had a deep interest in the law and in our justice system. What surprised me the most about my career path were the invaluable skills that were developed along the way — sound judgement, decision making, strategic thinking, foresight — and how these skills were able to be applied outside of my career into other areas of my life.

Is there any advice that you’d like to share with your colleagues?

Always act and work with integrity. Your integrity will follow you through the course of your career and, in my opinion, will always outweigh your skills and talents. Also, be understanding and work collaboratively with your colleagues – we’re a team!

What’s an interesting fact that we don’t know about you?

When I was in college, I spent a semester living on and circumnavigating the world by ship. It was truly an amazing experience – we would study while sailing at sea and, once we arrived at a new port, we would explore and immerse ourselves in the new country.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

There is nothing that I love more than spending time with my family – my husband, our young children, and our dog. We’re also avid travelers! I really enjoy reading, especially good thrillers.
