Q: When and why did you become involved in the WWBA?

A: I became a member of the WWBA in September 2019 after transitioning from working at Hogan Lovells LLP in its NYC office to practicing in Westchester County as an associate at Shapiro Gettinger Waldinger & Monteleone LLP.  Soon after becoming a member of the WWBA, I was appointed co-chair of the Appellate Practice Committee in December 2019.  I joined the WWBA for the professional opportunities that the organization has to offer  in Westchester County and to be involved with an organization that advances legal issues involving women. 

Q: Which WWBA activities have you participated in?

A: Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic began soon after I became co-chair of the Appellate Practice Committee.  I did attend the WWBA holiday party in December 2019 and look forward to attending more in-persona and virtual events in the future.
