What inspired you to practice plaintiffs’ employment law?

I was inspired to practice plaintiffs’ employment law because it provides a tangible way to defend civil rights in the workplace—a space that impacts nearly everyone, given the fundamental role work plays in people’s lives.

Career-wise, what accomplishment are you most proud of?

The career accomplishment I am most proud of is founding the Employment Law Center of Maryland and transforming it into a fully-fledged employment law firm.

What advice do you have for law students or new lawyers interested in this area of law?

My advice to new lawyers or law students interested in plaintiffs’ employment law is to demand the same fair treatment in your own workplace that you fight for on behalf of your clients and never hesitate to advocate for yourself.

What does NELA membership mean to you? How has it impacted your career?

My NELA membership has provided me with a true community of colleagues whose wisdom and support are indispensable, offering a reliable network I can count on for guidance and shared expertise.

What’s your favorite way to spend a day off?

My favorite way to spend a day off is chasing giggles and making memories with my new baby boy, Wes — every day with him feels like a brand-new adventure, and puts everything else into perspective!
