My Why
What powers my practice
Before law school, I worked on an in-house legal team where I regularly interacted with outside counsel, which sparked my interest in the dynamic nature of law firms and their work across industries. In litigation, I take pride not only in achieving successful outcomes but also in supporting clients through stressful moments. Volunteering in community legal clinics reinforced how much clients value someone who takes the time to work through their concerns—an approach I bring to every client relationship at Michael Best.
