What I’m Up To Now
Inspired by the /now page movement, here’s what’s keeping me busy lately.

Growing My Recruiting Practice
I run a legal recruiting agency focused on lateral attorney placements. This year, I’m leaning further into patent litigation recruiting, which has been a strategic shift I’ve been building toward. The freedom to choose that direction is one of the best parts of running my own practice.
A big part of what I do is helping lawyers prepare for interviews. Most lawyers approach interviews the wrong way. They re-explain their resumes when partners already know they’re technically capable. What interviews are actually testing is how you think under pressure, how you exercise judgment, and whether you’ll make cases easier or harder to run.
I’ve been writing about the frameworks we use with our candidates. We build customized prep materials for each conversation, not generic firm research, but tailored guides that match a lawyer’s experience to the specific person they’re meeting with. We recently worked with a lawyer who had low confidence despite strong credentials. After we prepped her, she advanced at every firm she interviewed with.
I also wrote about why your interview narrative matters more than most people think. The first thing we do when a lawyer gets an interview is schedule a prep call to refine a clear 30-second overview: where you are, what you work on, your role in that work, where you want to take your practice, and why the firm makes sense. Partners don’t want to hear what you’re running from. They want to hear where you’re going.
Family and Health
My son just turned 3. We celebrated the way we always do: took a half day and went to the terrarium together. It’s become our tradition. I wrote about what his birthday taught me about entrepreneurial freedom and how the definition of flexibility keeps expanding. It started with time and family. Now it includes being strategic about my career direction and investing in my long-term health.
I’ve been prioritizing strength training and mobility work. I brought my son to the gym with me recently because I wanted him to see that there is always time to take care of our bodies. He played with his monster truck while I worked on form. Keeping my body strong helps me show up in all the roles I play: agency owner, partner, mom, friend, daughter. Our kids are watching everything, and the habits we build become the lessons they carry.
Entrepreneurship hasn’t eliminated trade-offs. But it’s given me the freedom to choose them. That’s the part that keeps getting better.
