1. Which part of your job do you enjoy the most/what is your favorite thing about working here?
   

   Being able to see that I am making a difference and becoming part of my client’s family. I can actually see the weight lifting off their shoulders. I also love educating the community and other professionals.

2. What is your favorite memory working for Chris?
   

   I have so many but probably becoming a life care planning law firm and being able to watch it grow and help our aging clients. I also remember early on in our relationship when I was still getting to know Chris and I saw his strong exterior soften when he showed so much compassion for a client. He was empathetic and truly cared about helping her. That’s when I knew we were going to make a difference and we would be family.

3. Tell us something that may surprise us about you. 
   

   I was born in Iowa, I am the youngest of five children, I LOVE the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I have never traveled outside of the US but have been to 47 of the 50 states including Hawaii and Alaska.

4. What three words would you use to best describe Bratton Law? 
   

   Devoted, compassionate, family.

5. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? 
   

   Hopefully surrounded by many grandchildren and my children, still taking care of seniors, working alongside Chris and hopefully having a beach house to make memories in.
