What are you most proud of in your career?
While I take immense pride in helping our clients navigate mission-critical matters, one of the aspects of my job I’m most proud of is my involvement in overseeing our summer intern program. It’s very encouraging and rewarding to engage with so many bright, motivated and hard-working college students eager to embark on their professional careers.
