What was your most notable project, deal, transaction or professional achievement in 2016?
My most notable professional achievement in 2016 occurred when I was selected to be honored by 914INC. at the sixth annual 2016 Women in Business awards luncheon. I was among a group of eighteen women recognized for our business accomplishments by 914INC., a prominent business lifestyle magazine.
In addition to the awards luncheon, I was profiled in the magazine’s fall issue, where I spoke about successfully making the leap from being a paralegal at Bleakley Platt, to becoming a partner in the firm’s busy commercial real estate department. Earning a law degree at night while working full time wasn’t easy, but my advice to other women is simple: don’t let anything hold you back.
