One of my favorite memories working at Kavesh, Minor and Otis was playing a joke on my coworkers. One Halloween, I put a fake Chucky doll in the hallway to surprise a certain staff member as she came in one morning. She screamed so loud and nearly wet her pants! I could not help but laugh (and she then did too!) and it was and still remains one of my greatest memories! 😂

My overall fondest memory is all of the training and mentorship that I received throughout my time at KMO. I also enjoyed mentoring other junior associates who joined the firm and helping them with their questions and concerns as they began to learn the estate planning process. I also enjoyed social events, such as happy hour on Friday evenings with the other associate attorneys. And, of course, I cannot forget all of the times that Phil took me with him down to San Diego to the Southern California Tax and Estate Planning Forum, where I got to know him better and learned (and appreciated) what it takes to become a top estate planning lawyer.

I have a lot of fun memories throughout the years, but I will never forget my first Halloween! I was told that we could dress up in costumes for Halloween and I get to the office dressed up like this...

...only to find that NOBODY else dressed up!
One of the fondest memories I have from my time at KMO is our first company picnic. I loved getting together outside the office, and having the opportunity to meet everyone's loved ones and families. I recently hosted a board game night with some of our staff, which was lots of fun! I enjoyed the firm trips we went on, such as our three-day cruise to Ensenada, as well as my first time traveling to Hawaii. I absolutely fell in love with Hawaii, and now my family tries to go at least every other year in the summer!
