“We asked our readers to nominate someone they knew who they felt was an influential person in business in Vermont.

Of her decision to practice HealthCare Law, Shireen notes, “I was attracted to practice health law in Vermont because of the clients we serve. They are devoted to their patients, their community members, their staff, and their missions. Beyond the practice of law, I like to engage with and serve my local and state-wide communities through non-profit leadership opportunities. I am honored to be serving currently on the Vermont Chamber of Commerce Boards, along with the ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain Board of Directors. I am particularly proud to be an Honorary Board member of KidSafe Collaborative after having serving on their board. My mother is no longer with us, but she modeled being an engaged community member, and I am doing my best to follow in her footsteps.”
