All of the partners that I have worked with at Olshan and their support have greatly contributed to my success. My most impactful mentor, Nina Roket, has not only taught me the ins and out of being a leasing attorney, but she is helping me mold my career in a way that helps me not only achieve career goals but goals outside of work as well.
