What is your favorite motivational quote?
“Your thoughts become your reality, so think positive and big.”
How do you hold your own in a negotiation?
Being extremely well prepared is key to any successful negotiation.
What is the best advice you have received, and who was it from?
When I was young, my dad said I could do anything I put my mind to. When I considered cheerleading in middle school, he asked me why I wanted to be on the sidelines instead of out there playing the game. These two pieces of advice motivate me to get out there and take chances.

Returning to Zetlin & De Chiara as a partner has been the most professionally rewarding experience for me this year. It has been extremely fulfilling to be embraced by the partnership and to see the clients I have been cultivating continue our relationship at my new firm.
