Athena's mission is to help attorneys harness the power of career moves to maximize their personal and professional fulfillment. Leveraging nearly ten years of finance, business, and legal experience, Athena helps associates think through their objectives, identify in-house and firm opportunities that fit the bill, build a compelling job application, and negotiate an offer worth being excited about. Athena is a born “connector” who will adapt and tailor her approach based on the nuances of her candidates. She is committed to open, clear, and prompt communication to make the job search process as seamless as possible.

She handled a broad range of disputes related to the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the Bank Secrecy Act, the False Claims Act, the Administrative Procedures Act and various anti-discrimination laws. She also provided regulatory counseling to educational institutions and emerging companies.
Athena graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School. During law school, Athena served as a legal intern in the Appellate Division at the United States Attorney’s Office in Boston, Massachusetts.
