I look forward to continuing to draw upon my professional and personal experience to play an active role on our leadership
team and enhance PBCBA’s community outreach, education, and volunteerism efforts.
As a current member of the Board of Directors, I have worked closely with my colleagues to provide benefits, programs,
services, and opportunities for members of our organization and for our community. I understand the importance of finding
ways to improve our profession and assist members to achieve a positive and satisfying work-life balance.
As a former president of PBCBA’s Young Lawyers Section, I am passionate about our programs to mentor law students
and new attorneys and welcome them to our professional family. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is one of the
reasons that we are recognized as being a premier local Bar Associations in Florida.
I am committed to finding meaningful ways that we can serve our community and help those in need. I am fortunate to
be working with a law firm that was a pioneer in attorney volunteerism with local non-profit organizations, and I have
served on the Executive Board of the Junior League of the Palm Beaches, which has a lengthy track record of community
service. I want to further encourage, and provide opportunities for, PBCBA members to make a difference in people’s lives.
It’s important to me that we reach out to the general public and communicate the positive impact that our members are
having in our community.
