We asked Denaa to share a little about herself in our Member Spotlight:

What drew you to the practice of law and to a litigation and trial practice?  
Initially, it was to equip myself to help others and to make a difference. I stayed because trial work is for people like me ā€“ people who know how to tell an engaging story, step by step.

What are your future goals and aspirations for your for career?
To participate in more trial work. I love assisting small businesses and business owners in mitigating risk, both pretrial and during trial. It makes a world of difference to them and might mean the difference between continuing to operate their business and declaring bankruptcy.

What are you reading or listening to?
Everything and (almost!) anything. I love discovering new artists, sounds, and writings!

What would be the theme song of your life right now?
Welcome to the Jungle by Guns Nā€™ Roses closely followed by Plastic off the Sofa by Beyonce.

Describe your perfect day outside of work.
A day where time stays the social construct that it was supposed to be. Wake up without an alarm clock to grab iced coffee and go for a (mild) hike without headphones to ground myself. The hike would be followed by a day of pampering and reading. No cleaning allowed.

Say Hello and connect with Denaa!
