I love the Women’s Leadership Initiative and many of the Firm’s other initiatives. I've met some of my greatest friends and colleagues through them.
I was the co-chair of the Pride Affinity Group and on the Diversity & Inclusion Committee in San Francisco. Being in charge of our Pride Affinity Group and helping plan events all year with the diversity team was important, and I appreciate the Firm’s prioritization of these initiatives.
Being on the Recruiting Committee and the Associates Committee have been two of my favorite ways to contribute to Kirkland outside of my role. On the Associates Committee, you effect change — sometimes in a small way, other times on a district-wide, office-wide or Firmwide level. Representing people who may just need someone else to share their thoughts or concerns is really special. Everyone gets to have a voice, and we can help to amplify them.
