Describe a pivotal moment that influenced your career path.
At the end of my summer clerkship at Porter Wright, I was unsure whether I was ready to choose a department. A Porter Wright attorney asked me if I could envision my legal career without writing briefs, examining witnesses or appearing before the court. My answer was, “no,” and I knew then that litigation was the right choice for me.
