For the past 10 years, I have been captivated by award-winning television series The Amazing Race. I am a mother of three, who also works as a partner in a bustling law firm in San Jose, Calif.

It’s the race; it’s the competition; it’s the sense of victory. I am the quintessential contestant because I am running a race every day. By self-definition, I am a lawyer on the move.
