i became a lawyer um
00:06
because when i was 11 years old my dad
00:10
forced me a very shy bookish critical
00:13
thinker to try out for the mock trial
00:15
team and i was so embarrassed and afraid
00:20
but once i stepped into that environment
00:23
of legal thought and reasoning truly i
00:25
never looked back
00:27
i think that
00:28
opportunity i had as a child coupled
00:31
with my innate sense of i want to do
00:33
what’s right
00:34
made me really well suited to be a
00:36
plaintiff’s lawyer and since then i’ve
00:38
really
00:40
hoped for and sought out opportunities
00:43
to advocate for people who don’t have a
00:45
voice in their community
00:52
the most rewarding part of my practice
00:54
is the opportunity that i have to build
00:57
relationships with clients in my first
00:59
couple months at the firm i had the
01:01
chance to talk to a family that worked
01:03
with roger booth
01:04
several years ago and the way that they
01:07
talked about their relationship with him
01:10
the way he advocated for their family
01:12
really moved me and and made me feel
01:15
empowered to get to know my clients as
01:18
people and to show them that i care
01:20
about them um to understand who they are
01:22
and to make them feel heard and seen as
01:25
part of my advocacy for them
