She specifically reflects on being recruited by Weil Gotchall, serving in-house counsel at Brookfield and finally and ending up at Fried Frank, working on major development projects such as Manhattan West and Greenpoint Landing. She also shares insights into maintaining a work-life balance with twins and the importance of mentoring and giving back through pro bono work.
