What’s been your biggest professional accomplishment so far in your career?

My biggest professional accomplishment is making partner at Day Pitney while being an active mother and wife with two small children. I dedicate myself fully to every task and challenge in front of me, and I am very proud to have accomplished a balanced life with professional success.

How are you involved in the community?

I am involved in the community through my children. I love being a “soccer mom” and getting to meet and interact with other parents who balance professional and home lives.

Why do you deserve to be a 40 Under Forty?

• Was named partner at Day Pitney LLP as a mother of two young children.

• Run a unique type of legal practice in both insurance litigation and regulatory work.

• Established myself as the go-to regulatory counsel for holding company system filings, pioneering a procedural mechanism for addressing competitively sensitive information with the Connecticut Insurance Department.

What do you like to do outside of work?

My family and I go on hikes, specifically, ones with rock scrambles for my kids (and really, me) to climb over. I love a good puzzle or book, but I have to be careful because I will not go to sleep until it is done. My husband and I always enjoy a good laugh at the UK show “Taskmasters.”

Fun Fact

I love working with Excel spreadsheets and find any excuse to use them.
