My day-to-day can look different depending on the cases I’m handling at any given time. That said, you can usually find me drafting a brief at some point each day.

A few of my mentors have said that they didn’t necessarily choose insurance coverage, but rather, it “fell into their laps.” I’d say that accurately describes my experience as well.
What is your biggest achievement, professional or personal?
Although my greatest professional achievement is graduating from law school, I think my greatest achievement of all is that I am a proud cat mom. I adopted Leo (a/k/a the “Mouser”) from the Waukesha County Humane Society in June 2023:
