After more than eight years practicing law in the public and private sector, I decided it was time for a change. I spent the next two years at home with my children. But, I never completely left the law during that time. I stayed connected to the profession by remaining active in the Women's Bar Association of DC, taking on pro bono projects and attending occasional CLE programs. Although the transition back to work was challenging, the fact that I stayed connected made all the difference.
