Tina Dorr: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A millennial who, as 40-year-olds in midlife crisis do, left the only law firm I’d known to join this firm AND bought a sports car in the same month
• A mother to a beautiful green-eyed, 6-year-old son named Clark
• Half-Korean and half-Caucasian; my Caucasian father was my Korean mother’s English teacher, and they promise it was not scandalous
• A patent attorney married to another patent attorney; we’re fun, I swear
• Someone who met my husband at work when he was my superior, and it may or may not have been scandalous
• Passionate about fitness and have worked out at least five days a week since I was 15
• A former runner whose proudest accomplishment is running the Atlanta Marathon in less than four hours
• An avid podcast consumer of my hobbies, including fitness, interior design, fashion, leadership, etiquette, and skin care
• Risk-averse but have an entrepreneurial itch to open a luxury med spa or boutique hotel
• Task-oriented to a fault and have an insatiable need to “do” and not sit still
