In the last 12 months, what was your TOP career highlight? In the past year, I successfully resolved two contentious cases for two separate clients embroiled in years-long, multi-million dollar litigations. In each of the cases, the opposing party sought extensive monetary relief from my client; however, both cases resolved with the respective opposing party making monetary payment to my clients.

In the last 12 months, what ONE award were you most proud to receive? One award I was most proud to recently receive was being named a Subcontractors Trade Association, Inc. (NYC Chapter) Emerging Young Professional.

In the last 12 months how have you helped your industry grow through professional creativity, innovation and leadership? I am passionate about helping minority and women-owned business entities, who often face difficult barriers of entry, succeed in the industry despite the objectives of certification programs. I frequently write and speak on this issue at networking events and provide strategic counsel to further advance the visibility of these businesses.
