Why do you deserve to be a 40 Under Forty?
• Named partner in less than six years with a very active legal firm prominent in insurance defense.
• Raising a family while balancing a demanding career in a highly competitive profession.
• Gives back consistently to my community through volunteering and fundraising with my children’s school and my hometown.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Spending time with family is very important to me. My husband and I have three children, ages six, four and one. It is a privilege to raise them in a town with such a tightly-knit community full of activities and events.
How are you involved in the community?
My children attend a very active school where I regularly volunteer. Contributing to fundraisers, I’m active on many committees to acquire donations and help events run successfully. I have volunteered with the Stamford St. Patrick’s Day Committee, regarding logistics, offering professional advice on coverage and reviewing/advising on emails/documents.
