Since my dad summarily dismissed my aspirations of being a movie star, I became a lawyer instead. I’m General Counsel by day, a children’s book author, Life Coach, and a philanthropist by night (more like mornings). I’ve served as General Counsel since 2011 and recently joined ComplyAuto, a privacy/cybersecurity Saas company. Before going in-house, I was a file clerk,associate, and partner at the national labor and employment law firm Fisher Phillips LLP.

I am a co-author of both #Networked: How 20 Women Lawyers Overcame the Confines of COVID-19 Social Distancing to Create Connections, Cultivate Community, & Build Businesses in the Midst of a Global Pandemic and Women In Law: Discovering the True Meaning of Success. My first children’s book, Ralphy’s Rules for Living the Good Life, was published in 2021, and the second is coming out Summer 2023.

I have served as the President of the Salt Lake City Chapter for the Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (“SOAR”) since 2015. SOAR, founded in 2005, supports orphanages in Syria, Lebanon, and Armenia. I run the Salt Lake City Half Marathon every year to raise money for SOAR in memory of my father, who died in Lebanon in 2006. Net proceeds from my children’s books also go to SOAR.
