21 years
I became a patent attorney because I like to be on the forefront of new discoveries, especially in biomedical technology. Helping clients understand the patent process and how their intellectual property fits into their overall business scheme is always a new and exciting challenge.
On a personal note, my husband and I run a fitness consultancy, which includes personal training and nutritional guidance. It is important for us to convey a message of what it means to be healthy. I am also mom to two young boys, which keeps me on my toes!
