🌟 Thrilled to be featured in WomELLE’s WomLEAD Magazine! 🌟
As a first-generation Latina lawyer from the Bronx, my journey has been anything but conventional. From enlisting in the United States Air Force straight out of high school to navigating the challenges of law school while working full-time, each step has shaped who I am today.
In this feature, I share how my background and experiences have influenced my career at Barton LLP, where I focus on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and minority investments. I talk about the importance of authenticity, resilience, and leading with compassion in the legal industry.
🚀 Highlights from the article:
- My transition from the Air Force to Columbia University and Fordham University School of Law.
- Balancing work and studies, leading to my passion for practical legal impact.
- The unique, client-focused approach at Barton LLP that resonates with my values.
- Advancing innovation in M&A and AI technologies through our Outside General Counsel services.
- Navigating the legal industry as a woman and the power of mentorship and empathy.
I hope my story inspires others, especially women and those from diverse backgrounds, to embrace their unique paths and lead with kindness and integrity.
