“Growing up in the Southern Tier of New York, I was always the one challenging ideas and debating solutions—so it was no surprise when people joked that I should become a lawyer. What truly inspired me, though, was realizing that through estate planning, I could help families avoid conflict and create strategies that honor their wishes with clarity and confidence.”
