Her first day on the job, Jennifer Arbittier Williams’s boss told her that "the most important skill for a federal prosecutor is the ability to juggle.” It’s a skill Jennifer now realizes is necessary not only in her work, but in balancing her responsibilities as a mother, too. And despite the ongoing challenge, Jennifer looks forward to the juggling act every day.
While Jennifer’s No. 1 goal is to place her family first, she also appreciates that her federal prosecuting duties require great responsibility: importance lies in not only catching dangerous criminals, but also in doing so justly. Mostly, Jennifer wants other woman to realize that a career in law is not only thrilling, but does allow for a work/life balance. “It’s very satisfying that I get to exercise both sides of my personality every day,” she says.
