Get to know Caroleann continued... We asked Caroleann why do you practice law in Chicago on the Northwest Side of the City? It is not a coincidence that I live in Chicago. It may have been fate that brought me here, but the love of this City and its people are what made me stay. I just spent St. Patrick's weekend surrounded by people who love Ireland and its people, and it made me even prouder than I already was, to have this community surround and embrace me and make me feel like one of their own. I have a deep connection to my community and a strong sense of pride in both my Irish heritage and my work. I am inspired by the people around me and feel a sense of duty to serve those in my neighborhood, where I have built my life. The fact that I am immigrant from Ireland adds a personal and motivating layer to my journey, because despite the many challenges I faced to live and work here, I persevered and was utterly committed to be where I am today. I am proud to be from Ireland and equally proud to live here and I am committed to representing those who live and work in the same place I now call home. #fromtheretohere #immigrant #irishimmigrant #thewhoandthewhy
