MEET THE TEAM
What was the best vacation you ever took and why? After I finished law school, my mom and I took a trip to Costa Rica. While Costa Rica had never been on my “bucket list,” I was pleasantly surprised by how diverse it is in terms of nature, climate, culture, and geography. We rented a car and went exploring. I love the outdoors, and we visited volcanoes, waterfalls, hot springs, beaches, and rainforests. Discovering each of these natural wonders with one of my favorite people made it a very special trip. What’s your favorite thing about your current job? My favorite thing about working as a litigation attorney at Sierra Crest Business Law Group is helping clients improve their lives. Although it’s a cliche, I think many attorneys, like me, choose law school because they genuinely like and want to help people. Having a legal problem as a business owner can seriously disrupt your business, your livelihood, and your family life. I enjoy giving clients effective and creative solutions to their legal problems so that they can thrive in their businesses and personal lives. What makes you proud of your family? My family is a family of immigrants. Each of my great- grandparents emigrated from Europe to Brazil. My parents emigrated from Brazil to the Unites States. My husband is from the former Yugoslavia. My sister- in-law is from Venezuela. Being an immigrant is an incredibly brave choice. It takes hard work, courage, and resilience to plunge headfirst into the unknown to create a better life. These qualities are the essence of what makes the entrepreneurs we serve successful, too. What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done? Skiing! As someone who grew up in a tropical country and then in the flat Midwest, skiing was not something my family did. Yet I always wanted to learn Rita Greggio
and finally did as an adult. Still, each time I stand at the top of a run, it terrifies and thrills me. Despite being terrified, I force myself to ski, because life is too short to be limited by fear. Once you stop listening to the fear, you discover that there is no greater feeling than cruising down a mountain on a pair of skis. Which famous person in history would you want to spend the day with? The notorious RBG. Ruth Bader Ginsburg may not have been the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court, but she is certainly one of the most fascinating. One of my law professors clerked for a Supreme Court justice in the early ‘90s and once told me a story about being invited by Justice Ginsburg to attend a step-aerobics class — that just sounds like a fun time and is how I imagine our day would start. How many hours do you get to the airport before a flight? I think you mean minutes, and the answer is 59.
