I left W&J under good circumstances in 2016 awaiting the birth of my third child. I loved my job, but I needed to make that sacrifice for my family. I supported my husband and his law career by caring for our children full time. Additionally, I helped to care for my ill mother for nearly five years up to her passing in 2024. I have been heavily involved as a parent volunteer at our children’s schools over those years as well helping to coordinate multiple engagement and fundraising events.
