GB : How do you plan on furthering SDLRLA ’ s mission ?
GR : SDLRLA is a community of Latino and Latina attorneys with over 250 members including lawyers , judges and partners . Each member is dedicated to justice , equality , and the empowerment of the community at large , as well as promoting diversity through education , advocacy , and service . My role as president this year has focused on accepting the realities of COVID-19 while still pushing forward with advancing our mission . One way I have done this is to surround myself with an extraordinary team of diverse individuals who strive to support , mentor , and challenge each other to become phenomenal leaders within the San Diego legal community and beyond . This year , SDLRLA has taken large strides and it all has to do with the amazing team I have behind me .

How do you prioritize your focus as a multi-passionate lawyer ?
Attorney wellness is a big topic these days because it is easy to take on too much and become overwhelmed . I try to stay well-rounded by taking care of my physical , spiritual , social , and emotional well-being on top of my career . With that being said , I try to exercise daily and spend as much quality time with family and friends as I can .
