I enjoy practicing Social Security Disability law because I find it gratifying helping people in need and I am very interested in medicine. I have been practicing law for 20 years this year. In my spare time, I am an avid scuba diver, a PADI DiveMaster since 2012, and an avid underwater phtographer, especially of sharks. I love to travel and meet new people. I also love music, and make somewhat futile, but continuous attempts to play violin and learn to surf.

I endorse this lawyer because unhave worked with her on many occasions, attended training sessions with her, and served in professional associations with her. She is caring, competent, smart, and handles herself well with clients and judges. I highly recommend her.
