What would you say is your single biggest business
achievement, and why? Being invited by my colleagues to
join the Siskinds LLP partnership.
Who, or what, was your biggest business
influence? My friend and mentor Doug Bryce,
my colleagues in the Siskinds LLP personal
injury group and the lawyers at the board
of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association.
Each has provided guidance, input and set
an example for the shaping of my practice
and business - from legal knowledge,
community involvement, professional
development and commitment to client

What's left for you to do -
professionally or personally?
Professionally my career is
still in its early stages and
there is a great deal left to
do: representing individuals
in difficult cases, conducting
trials, advocating for positive
changes to legislation governing
available assistance for injured
people. Personally, I have two
kids - and one on the way -
and have a great deal left to do
in raising them.
