Jessica Goryl: I Am Barnes & Thornburg
I AM...
- A mom to an amazing, recently turned nine-year-old, Theo
- Obsessed with critters that look like they’re in formal wear: pandas, penguins and tuxedo cats. I have three fluffy tuxie cats, but regretfully, no pandas or penguins.
- A dog-mom to our 11-month-old bernadoodle, Chester Doggypott—in homage to one of the greatest 80s movies ever, The Goonies
- A big fan of the outdoors and am always up for a hike in the woods. Cub Scouts camping is recently testing this theory.
- A true believer that a well-made charcuterie and cheese board with a glass of pink bubbly and a good friend cures most ills
- A wanderer at heart who loves to travel. I used to work in Milan, Italy.
- An avid skier
- Notorious for planning everything! I’m not great at sitting still.
- Torn between beach life and mountain life—I don’t think I could possibly choose one over the other
- A nerd for the written word
