Attorney - HR | Compliance and Employment
“My motivation for employment law stems from the deep sense of justice and empathy that I’ve always felt. I can’t count the number of times I’ve gotten myself into ‘trouble’ by standing up for what I believed to be the right thing. This passion for doing what is right informs my approach to human resources. Yes, I’m there to protect businesses – but protecting businesses means protecting employees – making sure businesses are doing the right thing by their employees and complying with laws and regulations.”
