Q&A
What’s your favorite quote?
My favorite quote is from Maya Angelou: “I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.If you weren’t an attorney, what would you be?
If I weren’t an attorney, I would be a full-time basketball coach or I would own and operate a knitting store. Polar opposites, but both make my heart happy.
