Women's Network—Ladies, Be Gentle: The Cinderella Phenomenon

For me, it probably started when I was a nurse. At the bedside, I exceled by challenging myself to the most difficult patients and learning as much as I possibly could about medicine and the available life-saving equipment. Most of my colleagues were women, and I found that they rarely supported one another or behaved as a team. Once I determined that I could no longer thrive in this environment, I decided to strive for something else…the law. Becoming a lawyer would allow me to help others in a different way.
