"Everyone's heard of fight or flight. I was never much of a physical fighter growing up, yet I certainly wasn't the kind of kid who would run away from a fight or a disagreement. I didn't take my ball home when the kids on the block didn't want to play the game I wanted to play. Instead, I tried to 'figure it out' so we could all keep playing together in a civilized manner. I didn't like to argue or yell to prove a point. Instead, I tried to find common ground to solve the problem together. This continued through high school, where I was often the 'shoulder to cry on,' or the one to figure out how we were going to complete the project in a short timeframe, or the one to make the presentation to the class. My friends and my teachers often said, 'You should be a lawyer.' I agreed and found that my skills were well suited to transactional work between creditors and borrowers. I have found that being a real estate attorney satisfies my desire to help people and make a difference in their lives. It's a great day when I help diametrically opposed parties find common ground, 'figure it out,' and leave with smiles on their faces."
