“My father always told my brothers and me that instead of just getting college degree, we should also have a post graduate degree to be successful in life. It was in high school when I first entertained the idea of becoming a lawyer. In college and later in law school, after developing an interest in Urban Studies, Real Estate and Political Science, I took as many courses as I could in these areas. By practicing in the field of Land Use and Planning for our 30 years in Prince George’s County, I have been able to combine my multiple interests. I am proud that we have raised our family here in the County and have contributed to making it a better community through my land use practice and volunteer activities.”
