The NLG provides our newest lawyers with the opportunity to gain exposure to different practice areas and lawyering styles before making a commitment to a specific practice. Individuals in the NLG may focus on a particular area of practice, or compare practices, during their first year with Jones Day.

She has been on the teams representing lenders and borrowers in secured and unsecured, senior and subordinated, and cash flow and asset-based credit facilities and has worked with a national bank leading a syndicate of lenders on the amendment and extension of its existing secured credit facility for a kaolin clay company and on the amended and restated senior secured credit facilities for a professional sound reinforcement and live touring production support company.
