Favorite quote: Work as if the money did not matter.

Fun fact: People randomly tell me their life story.

How do you unwind after a long day of work? Hang out with my friends and family.

What challenges have you faced in your career, and how did you overcome them? Being the first woman in my firm to have a position of authority and being a foreigner.

What has been the most monumental moment of your career thus far? When I argued in front of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and won.

Who are your role models? My father. My boss.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever gotten? Let your work speak for itself.

What advice would you give a young woman at the start of her career? Do not be afraid and don’t feel compelled to smile. And please do not say “sorry” when you start typing and/or speaking.

How does being a woman has impacted your career? It has impacted it tremendously and it still does, because I want to make sure that all my women colleagues have the same opportunities that I had and that their gender is not an impediment to that.
