Birthplace: Worcester
Residence: Worcester
High school: Auburn High School

Career highlights: Realizing right where I started is right where I belong. After my first job with a big firm, I returned to Auburn in 2011 and joined the real estate law practice my father started more than 30 years ago and know I am where I am supposed to be.
Community involvement: I joined the Women's Initiative of Central Massachusetts to connect with women who care about the future of girls in our community, and I chair the committee that runs annual financial literacy conferences for eighth-grade girls. I also volunteer regularly for Girls Inc. of Worcester.
Ultimate career goal: To strengthen my involvement with women and youth in the community and expand my practice in the probate and family court.
Non-relatives you admire most: Women who were and continue to be firsts, and other families who meet the challenge of working together in small businesses.
