Which woman most inspired you in your legal career and why?
There have been so many strong women who have inspired me, it seems unfair to single out an individual (except for my older sister). I’ve been fortunate to meet, and often work alongside, women who have inspired me through their open-mindedness, energy, skill and appetite for their work. One combination that I have often found especially inspiring is the ability to balance a passion for your work with a certain coolness of temperament. Certainly, when I was younger, it wasn’t clear to me that it’s possible to both love what you do, and also not take the world too seriously. That’s something I’ve learned from a number of role models, and a quality I aspire to emulate.
