- Just another female lawyer who is also juggling the job of
being a mother!
I am raising my high school age daughter and two sons--a seventh grader and a precocious third grader in Pittsburgh. I am a lawyer, a public speaker, a runner, and a writer. I started this blog because I like to write, and I thought that it was time to share my writing with others. Initially, I was nervous that I wouldn't find an audience, but I have. And that inspires me to write more!
Originally from
Rochester, NY, I am one young professional Pittsburgh successfully roped in. I came here more than seven years ago to accept a position as an attorney with a large organization believing that I would only stay a few years. However, I fell in love and have
made Pittsburgh my home. Now, Pittsburgh is a part of me and I have become a part of this city. In addition to
practicing law,
mothering and blogging, I am an adjunct professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
Not everything I do is related to the law! I have tried a lot of things. I was a cheerleader in high school and retain that enthusiasm for life. I have worked on a
skeet shooting range and been an
aerobics instructor. Before practicing law I had a career in sales and marketing. I have sold candy for M&M/Mars and ran successful campaigns for the
Dial Corporation. At one point, I even tried out for "
The Apprentice". Through that process I had an audience with the former president of The United States of America, Donald Trump. Now, that seems surreal...
"I am not just a mom, I'm a cool mom"!
When I’m not practicing law, I try to give back to the community in as many ways as possible. I was recently elected to serve as President of a local Foundation, I am on the board of
WQED, and I am a member of the Women’s Leadership Circle of United Way. I have also mentored several students bound for college. Come election time, you can always find me volunteering to protect the rights of voters seeking to participate in the
political process. I even managed to get promoted twice at my "real job" after becoming a mom!
Sometimes my life is a bit overwhelming, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Writing this blog is often my “Me Time.” I share what is going on in
Chaton’s World. On this blog I share my views, from politics to motherhood. It helps me process everything going on in my life. I hope that my experiences and opinions help you to make sense of your world.
I also hope that this blog helps you understand that things get a little crazy for everyone. However, never forget that the best is truly yet to come.
