Q. How are you settling in at your new office?
A. I'm settling in very well, thanks to several things. My office is located at 71 Elm St. in Worcester and it's beautiful and welcoming at the same time. Also, the office staff is the best I've ever encountered. Lastly, partners Brendan King and Linda Cammuso have done their very best to help me settle in. They make me feel like a valuable part of the team by introducing me to current clients and by helping me to develop my own client base.
Q. What challenges do you see in your new position?
A. Estate planning is a complex legal process. It's a challenge to help clients understand all the nuances, which is important so that they may make informed decisions. Estate Preservation Law Offices is a growing firm, and we've recently opened locations in Braintree, Cambridge and Hyannis, so another challenge is to seek out and serve clients who will find these new locations convenient.

Q. How close is this to what you imagined in high school you'd end up doing?
A. Initially, I was interested in criminal justice and then decided to get my law degree. My new position exceeds my expectations and I feel honored to be working with such talented professionals.

A. My commute is about 40 minutes. It's a nice commute on scenic roads.
Q. What's the best way to keep your energy and motivation up when you're having a long day?

Q. Where's the best place to get lunch near your new location?
A. I love to cook so I often bring my lunch along. When I head out to eat it's usually to The Sole Proprietor.
Q. Do you have any hobbies outside of work?
