00:04
so i’ve been really lucky to have a lot
00:06
of mentors actually in my law career so
00:09
far
00:10
starting back in law school i interned
00:13
for a medical legal partnership and the
00:16
woman who ran that program at the time
00:18
ended up becoming a really helpful
00:20
mentor to me and sort of taught me some
00:22
things as a as a female in the legal
00:24
profession about how to advocate for
00:26
myself you know negotiate things moving
00:28
forward in my career to this day i still
00:31
turn to her if i have questions about
00:33
things and then kind of going beyond
00:34
that i clerked for a judge he was
00:37
really good about taking the time to sit
00:39
down and explain things to me as a new
00:41
lawyer when you kind of know some things
00:44
but not really
00:46
that much and his big saying was let’s
00:48
look at the statute what does this
00:49
statute say and i hear his voice in my
00:51
head when i’m like well let’s go look at
00:52
the statute and see what that says all
00:54
the way up till i
00:56
moved to st louis in 2015 and met martha
00:59
she’s been an excellent mentor to me
01:01
she’s very good and cares very much
01:03
about bringing up sort of the next
01:06
generation of lawyers so
01:12
in my work i try to
01:14
always have some
01:16
scholarly interest in
01:19
either writing and or speaking
01:21
engagement so generally at the beginning
01:22
of the year i will set a goal for myself
01:25
on a certain number of speaking
01:28
engagements for you per year and i like
01:30
to do speaking engagements that are
01:32
related to elder law but sort of bring
01:34
in
01:35
other aspects of law so how can elder
01:38
law be applicable to
01:40
family lawyers for example or personal
01:42
injury attorneys and that kind of thing
01:44
so i do
01:46
speak to people who practice in the same
01:48
area but also others i’m also involved
01:51
in several
01:52
um scholarly writing endeavors so martha
01:56

01:59
book that’s put out by the missouri bar
02:02

02:04

02:07

02:09
