Q: When and why did you become involved in the Westchester Women’s Bar Association?

A: I initially became involved with the Westchester Women’s Bar Association as a 1L at Pace Law School in 2006.  Upon graduation I moved to New York City to begin my legal career so I could not continue my membership.  After moving back to Westchester County and starting a job at the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office in 2021, I rejoined the Westchester Women’s Bar Association to network and develop a sense of community after spending much of the Covid-19 pandemic working from home. 

Q: Which activities and positions of the Westchester Women’s Bar Association have you participated in?

A: Since rejoining the Westchester Women’s Bar Association in 2021 I have been one of the co-chairs of the mentorship committee and I am currently the recording secretary for the 2022-2023 year.
