Kat shared her unique background, including immigrating to the United States with her family and eventually graduating from Stanford Law School. She described how, as a young member of her family, she took on the responsibility of learning a new language and adapting to a new culture. Kat also talked about attending Stanford despite never having been to California before, and the career path that led her to private practice. She emphasizes “The point of DEI efforts is not just increasing diversity; it’s also making sure that things are fair and equal in the workplace for diverse attorneys but also non-diverse attorneys.”  Listen to the entire podcast episode here.
