Other than improving your Zoom Meeting skills, what have you learned (or learned to excel in professionally) since COVID-19 began? 
I’ve become more aware of the precautions that should always be in place at meetings to help with everyone’s comfort level and keep germ spreading at a minimum.   

Who are you outside of work?
I’m a dog mom to my 2 rescue pups and am also hard at work to plan my wedding, which will be next October!

Name a silver lining in your own work experience since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
Thanks to virtual meetings, I’ve had the opportunity to meet and work with attorneys in the other offices. Prior to the pandemic I was very focused on work within the Indianapolis office.  

What is your proudest professional accomplishment to date?
We just held our partner retreat a couple of weeks ago in Miami, FL. It brought together our partners from all offices for the first time in over 3 years. It was the largest event I’ve planned, and it offered flexibility to be really creative with our activities and themed dinners! 

What are some of your favorite things about being an MPI member?
The webinars are always very informative, and I appreciate how they’re themed around current world issues. They’ve really helped me overcome obstacles the last few years.  

When do you plan to go on your next vacation and where do you want to go?
In a couple of weeks, we’re taking our annual fall camping trip down to Red River Gorge in Kentucky. The fall colors are beautiful this time of year. 

What is the greatest place you have ever visited? 
I studied abroad in Ireland for a month and would go back in a heartbeat! I love the relaxed culture there.   

Something people don’t know about you:
In high school I cheered in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
