When asked why she wanted to co-found TL² with Sherlice Theroux she says “several reasons. First it was a chance to work Sherlice again, we click and I really enjoy working with her. Second it was a chance to return to a smaller firm environment, something that I personally thrive in and where I find a great deal of personal reward. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, it was a chance to set an example for my daughters that you can control your destiny and have a vibrant successful career while being a mom and wife.”
