Read our Q&A below to learn more about the newest member of the GLG team.
What sparked your interest in the law?
I have wanted to be a lawyer since I was young. In fact, when most of my high school classmates chose French or Spanish, I signed up for Latin because I thought it would be helpful for a career in law. The idea of working as a litigator—where it’s about the facts and evidence winning the day—has always appealed to me.
Who’s your biggest inspiration and why?
Craig Futterman, the founder and director of the Civil Rights and Police Accountability Project, played a formative role in my development as an attorney. I had my first courtroom experience and my first opportunity to work with clients working with him. Craig has been a mentor, colleague, and friend for more than a decade now.
What’s something others may not know about you?
I love to travel the world, and I have visited almost every U.S. state except Alaska. I briefly lived in Australia, and I have been to Italy, Greece, Germany, Japan, Thailand, Iceland, Israel, and Egypt, among many other countries.
What are your interests outside of work?
I enjoy staying active, whether working out at the gym or playing sports.
What’s your favorite book and why?
I enjoyed George Orwell’s 1984. It feels prescient despite the fact that it was written in the 1940s. So many of Orwell’s themes are playing out in the world today.
