What Motivates Me: What motivates me is a genuine desire to be of service to others and to the legal profession. At the risk of sounding cliché, I find real fulfillment in creating opportunities for others to succeed. 

Proudest Moment: Coaching moot court teams to four national championships: three at the Ruby R. Vale Interschool Corporate Moot Court Competition in Delaware and one at the Kaufman Securities Law Moot Court Competition at Fordham Law School. These competitions challenge students to master complex legal doctrines and deliver persuasive appellate arguments before panels that often include leading jurists, regulators and scholars. Guiding students through the rigorous process of honing their legal writing and sharpening their oral advocacy skills has been deeply rewarding. 

My Very First Job and What I Learned From It: I worked on a dairy farm milking cows at 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. It was hard work, and the most important thing I learned from it is that in that job (and many others) there are no off-days.
