About

Thank you so much for visiting my website. I am an experienced attorney, legal writing trainer, and law school coach.

• If you are an attorney, I can teach you to write more clearly and concisely. I will give you techniques to implement immediately. We will work together on your existing assignments. The process will save you time, earn you better partner reviews, and train you how to write well on your own.
  
• For law students and judicial clerks, I offer legal writing training and overall law school support. As with my attorney services, my goal in writing training is to train you to write well on your own. Nothing delights me more than when a student “outgrows” me and no longer needs my support.

I earned my degrees from Harvard University (BA, cum laude, 1991), and Boston College Law School (JD, Order of the Coif, summa cum laude, 1996), where I graded on to Law Review, was elected Executive Editor, and published a student Note.

Before pivoting to my current role, I practiced Labor & Employment Law for twenty years—at Proskauer (NYC), Reed Smith and Morgan Lewis (Philadelphia). I also served as in-house counsel for The Hershey Company.

At Proskauer and Reed Smith, I was the Editor of practice group blogs and client alerts. I also spent a great deal of my time writing articles for publication and training associates on how to write such articles.

Guiding new and aspiring lawyers has been the most rewarding part of my professional career.

I am fortunate to have the most gracious husband, who serves as Managing Partner at a Philadelphia law firm. His relentless work ethic has enabled me to pursue my passions for writing, teaching, and the law.

We live in a suburb of Philadelphia and have three daughters. In addition to speaking with lawyers and students, I enjoy writing, spending time with family and friends, playing tennis, and learning to play duplicate bridge.
