What’s a piece of unconventional advice you’ve received that was helpful?
Anne Beiler, the founder of Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, offered a piece of advice to me early in my career: “Give to get to give again.” I found myself applying her advice to both my professional and personal life, and giving selflessly of my knowledge and time. Anne’s advice is perhaps more meaningful today as I can look back and see how giving of time and knowledge opened new doors and contributed to my professional and personal development.
What is the most meaningful case or pro bono experience you’ve worked on?
Over the last few years, I had the privilege of providing pro bono legal support to MASS (Meaningful Acts towards Sustainable Success), a non-profit which aims to improve access to quality education to children and adults in parts of Northern Pakistan. The aide provided by MASS makes a profound impact in the lives of its recipients by improving their economic conditions, empowering women through literacy and vocational training, and providing assistance in navigating social and cultural challenges. Providing quality education to a population enables improvement in the quality of life for generations to come and being able to contribute my time and knowledge to MASS has been the most meaningful pro bono experience of my career.
What song or album motivates you the most?
“Titanium” by David Guetta (ft. Sia). I find the lyrics and the music to be uplifting, and the song motivates me to find the strength to overcome any obstacles.
