On having both an MBA and JD: “Although I’ve never officially held a title that would require an MBA, my training in business is a framework that I use to understand the bigger picture, and it allows me, as a lawyer, to be seen as a team player instead of as a hurdle by management..”

Goals: “Be a key member of the international management team that drives financial growth for our shareholders while
deepening my understanding of the technical and financial aspects of the business.”
