Share a bit about yourself! What are you up to now? <\/strong><\/h3>\nI am a 2009 graduate of the University, where I majored in economics and minored in political science.\u00a0 I moved to Boston about 5 years ago, where I live with my husband, daughter, and dog (with some Rochester pride, named Dandelion).\u00a0 I am a litigation partner at the law firm of Saul Ewing, LLP, where I focus my practice on business, real estate, and higher education litigation.\u00a0 Outside of the office, I enjoy vegan cooking, yoga, hiking, and spending time with my family.<\/p>\n
What are your most cherished memories from the University of Rochester?<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe little things. Drinking coffee on the deck of Rush Rhees, painting the underground tunnels with my pledge class, reading in Periodicals, spending time on campus with two of my sisters (who are \u201908 and \u201912 graduates), and returning to campus for Meliora Weekend with friends.<\/p>\n
How did your experience at the University of Rochester influence your life?<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy time at the University not only pushed me to think independently and be self-sufficient, but it also opened my eyes to new perspectives, allowed me to see and circumnavigate the world through my study abroad program (Semester at Sea \u201908), and gave me a network of life-long friends.<\/p>\n
What sparked your initial interest in volunteering with the University? What role(s) have you held?<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy interest in volunteering started early on during my time at the University and stemmed from a desire to give back to a place that gave so much to me.\u00a0 While at Rochester, I served as an orientation volunteer, but my passion for volunteering didn\u2019t stop there. After graduating I served as a volunteer for accepted student outreach, and now I currently serve as a member of the University of Rochester Boston Network Leadership Council.<\/p>\n
What advice do you have for fellow alumni and friends who may be interested in taking a more active role in our alumni and friends\u2019 community?<\/strong><\/h3>\nCarpe Diem! For me, getting involved with the Boston Network Leadership Council shortly after I had moved to Boston and during the pandemic was a great way to meet other Yellowjackets in the area and give back to the University no matter where I was located. Participation can take many forms no matter what your schedule is or how much time you have to dedicate, so don\u2019t be afraid to start with small steps.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1708523835477{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;border-top-color: #999999 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}”]<\/p>\n

My interest in volunteering started early on during my time at the University and stemmed from a desire to give back to a place that gave so much to me.\u00a0 While at Rochester, I served as an orientation volunteer, but my passion for volunteering didn\u2019t stop there. After graduating I served as a volunteer for accepted student outreach, and now I currently serve as a member of the University of Rochester Boston Network Leadership Council.<\/p>\n
What advice do you have for fellow alumni and friends who may be interested in taking a more active role in our alumni and friends\u2019 community?<\/strong><\/h3>\nCarpe Diem! For me, getting involved with the Boston Network Leadership Council shortly after I had moved to Boston and during the pandemic was a great way to meet other Yellowjackets in the area and give back to the University no matter where I was located. Participation can take many forms no matter what your schedule is or how much time you have to dedicate, so don\u2019t be afraid to start with small steps.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1708523835477{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;border-top-color: #999999 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}”]<\/p>\n
