Asenet Duran: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A proud Latina of Dominican descent who loves to dance
• The oldest of four raised by phenomenal parents who taught me the value of hard work and good food – my dad was a chef for 40 years
• A single mother to an amazing daughter (age 22) who graduated from New York University with a full scholarship
• A fiancée to an amazing man, Greg
• Obsessed with YouTube interior decorating videos
• A lover of nature and hiking, especially during the autumn season
• A creator who started my own macramé business during the pandemic called Netty’s Knots
• Obsessed with travel and cultures; talking to locals and learning about their daily lives makes me so happy
• Someone who loves a good cigar with a glass of whiskey (no rocks!)
• A lover of humor and laughing so hard I can’t breathe
