Q: If you could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Q: What got you into working in the legal industry?

A: I literally fell into it. I randomly connected with the Communications Director, at the time, at Fulbright & Jaworski. She and the Marketing Director asked if I would be interested in an interview and gave me a chance, even when I told them I had no idea what legal marketing was! The rest is history.
