Graduated from the University of Maryland in 1985, Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in English-Linguistics and a Certification in Women's Studies. Then graduated from New York University School of Law in 1988. I began practice initially as an insurance defense attorney and has been representing plaintiffs since 1990.

I have a son, Benjamin,  who currently attends The Gregory School and  plans to attend law school and join Showard Law Firm in the future.  In my spare time, I enjoy horseback riding and spending time in Sonoita with my husband Peter.
