Personal Interests & Charitable Work
Donna is on the board of the Dallas Women Lawyers Association, is a DWLA Foundation member, and regularly takes cases with Legal Aid of North Texas through the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program. Outside of work, Donna can usually be found playing Nintendo with her kids, a chihuahua or two in my lap or at my heels at (almost) all times. She is actively involved in with her daughter’s softball team, and enjoys taking special "just us" trips to art museums with her son. Donna spends what little remaining free time she has reading, taking classes, or participating in discussion groups related to my interests in socionics and personality typology, with particular emphasis on the Enneagram (Donna is an 8w7!).
