Sharealittleaboutyourcareerpath and/ormilestones.
I began my career in Washington, D.C., as an antitrust lawyer representing large corporations in mergers and competition-related litigation AftermovingtoCharlotte andthebirthofourthirdchild,Ileft private practice for legal academia. I spent about a decade as a law professor,teachingcivilprocedureto first-yearlawstudentsandleadingthe law school’s legal writing program Eight years ago, I returned to my litigation roots and joined Lincoln Derr PLLC, a dynamic, womenowned firm founded by Carmel members Sara Lincoln and Tricia Derr Throughitall,Ihaveretained
my love and enthusiasm for the law andamthankfultohavebeenableto stay in it in some capacity while raisingourboys.

Doyouhaveanyfavoriteleadership or personal development books or videos?
I am fortunate to have been surroundedbytrailblazingwomenfor mostofmycareer,includingworking directly for the first female partner ever made at the largest law firm in DC Without exception, these women have been whip-smart, hardworking, passionate, and of course, tough My favorite leaders, though, have an additional quality –theyopenlyrootfortheirpeopleand acknowledgeothers’contributionsto their own successes Good leaders understand that giving credit builds faithandloyaltyandmotivatesthose theyleadtoachievemore Amindset that seeks to identify others’ roles in team wins also invites self-reflection and, as a result, continual selfimprovement
Please share your favorite part about being a member of Carmel WomeninBusiness.
CWIB provides a forum for women at all stages of their lives to engage and learn from one another There isn’tjustonetypeofCWIBmember – some work full-time, some have flexible work situations, and others are taking a break from a paying job anddecidingwhetherorhowtomake their way back to the professional world I have been in each of these categories at some point in the last twenty-five years I love connecting with other women on this shared journey and am inspired by their different approaches to defining and findingsuccess
