My Candidate Statement

As a new lawyer who attended law school outside of Florida, I joined MDFAWL to network in the Miami legal community (and frankly, to make friends). As I got involved, MDFAWL became much more to me: a way to connect with and advocate for women. 

I am grateful to have served on the Board for two terms, helping to oversee the organization, as well as assisting with the planning and execution of signature events, spearheading the new Level Up series, and leading our Get Out the Vote efforts to encourage our membership to have their voice heard in national and local elections.

While serving on the Board, I have maintained my role as Public Relations Committee Chair, with the daily responsibility of sustaining and improving the chapter’s brand throughout the state, in a time where most everything is virtual. My Committee and I promote MDFAWL’s message through our various social media platforms, increasing the organization’s visibility. I utilize our online presence to ensure the chapter is heard on critical issues, to secure appropriate recognition for our members’ accomplishments, and to spread important information consistent with MDFAWL’s mission. 

I was thrilled to be recognized as a Leader in the Law by State FAWL and touched to receive MDFAWL's Rising Star Award in 2020, which is now named for my mother, Lynn Futch, a star lawyer whose legacy is my daily inspiration, and then last year to be given the Judge Amy Karan President’s Award, named for another amazing mother, jurist, and human. 

I would be even more honored to be elected as Secretary to continue serving the organization, its members, and its mission, as well as to keep MDFAWL moving forward into the future.

Below are some highlights from this year in MDFAWL, and at the top right you can find drop down menus for more information about me and my endorsements, what I have done in service to MDFAWL so far, why I am running for this position, and what I hope to do in the future.
