Via a video interview, Bernadette shared her personal experience as a woman in the legal industry and challenges she faced early on—and how receiving mentorship at Nossaman and remaining “persistent and stubborn" has helped her succeed. She also discussed how she now pays it forward by mentoring women entering the legal field and encouraging them to advocate for themselves.
