Passionate About Life and Community

One of the passions in my life is tennis, and it has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Playing and following the sport connects me with my dad, who came to the U.S. on a tennis scholarship, and with my community, where I've had the opportunity to coach youth teams.

Meet Our Team

Incorporating Belonging into our Everyday Conversation

We care about cultivating a sense of belonging for every individual at the firm. Our partners, our managers, and our various committees actively seek input from everyone to see how we can improve and continue to thrive as a team.

Virtual Water Cooler Chat: Show & Tell! (February 2026)

In this relaxed, community-building session, our team got together to each share one meaningful item—something that reflects who you are, what you value, or a story you'd like to share. Some moments were touching, others playful, but all fostered a deeper sense of connection and appreciation for the people we’re lucky to work alongside.

Volunteering at Miriam's Kitchen (December 2025)

Members of the BoMc team volunteered at Miriam's Kitchen creating care packages and no-sew blankets to help individuals experiencing homelessness stay warm in the winter. The team learned about the organization's comprehensive approach to eliminating the housing crisis in Washington, D.C. while connecting with one another and giving back to the community.

Virtual Water Cooler Chat: Get to Know Your Colleagues! (August 2025)

This informal session focused on getting to know your colleagues all around the country over some entertaining conversation starters. For example: who is on your Mount Rushmore of TV shows? The conversation was lively, connections were made, and folks came away inspired!
